Susan Nemeth was born in Australia and now resides in London.  The work is made from laminated sheets of coloured clays inlaid with hand cut patterns, which are then beaten, rolled and stretched over moulds.  The final form is forced from one single flat sheet of clay, which ensures a simple shape.  The pieces are then buried in sand to prevent warping and fired to their limit, which achieves a smooth, matt, watertight finish. 

Fabric design from the 1950s and 60s influence her current work.  The painters Ben Nicholson, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse and Eva Hesse influence her surface patterns also; patterns which are often found in the background or in detail of these painters’s works.

Susan remains a member of the Craft Potters Association and the Craft Council England.
