Susan Borthwick is inspired by her love of clay and a commitment to having fun with her creative process. Susan’s “Play Babies” utilize a Japanese colored clay technique known as Nerikomi. The layered colored clays twist and distort into unique patterns that dance across the surfaces with a playful elegance. Susan’s landscapes use ceramic underglazes and stains to create tree and cloud filled scenes, a home for birds and a joyful space. These landscapes allow Susan to “paint” with clay as she infuses her landscapes with a human spirit.
