SUE MIFSUD (b.1968. )

SUE MIFSUD

'Sue started working with clay in 1993 and feels it is a shot in the arm from the normality of everyday life, it’s also an infinitely diverse medium with which she can express herself. She feels that freedom is lost to routine and tries to avoid that predictability in my ceramic work.  The concepts she plays with demand that she uses varying ceramic techniques to display the thoughts that collect in her head,  her most content moments being the ones spent in the studio untangling her mind. 

Sue is currently in her final year of study at Glasgow School of Art for her BA (Hons) Degree in Ceramic Design and although originally established as a potter, through the influence of her studies many other making methods have now become dominant in her work.  She continues to research and develop the use of clay, glazes and firing techniques.'
