| Suzy Allan is a ceramic artist whose creatively constructed works of clay mirror the world around her. They vary in design as well as function, reflecting the natural beauty and sense of serenity that surrounds her in Sedona.
As a young girl, Suzy was encouraged by her mother to take a variety of art classes. She won several awards and a scholarship. While attending college she studied art, design, photography, and earned her degree in Interior Design. She works as a professional Interior Designer and Space Planner.
Suzy began her work at SAC in 2007. She taught hand building classes and workshops for over 13 years.
She enjoys the shared connections of working alongside other ceramic artists and participating in their collective art shows. She is inspired by their generosity of spirit and finds them all a joy to work with.
Many times, especially during the sculpting process, she has felt divinely guided as if someone else’s hands were molding the clay. Suzy feels working in clay requires a Zen state of mind. She says you never know how a piece will ultimately turn out, if at all. It is a constant lesson in letting go and not being attached. |
