About Su Thompson
Su Thompson throws stoneware vessels that are defined by their open planes. Onto these surfaces she grows crystals within the glaze.
 
Applying carefully tested layers that respond to the orientation of each form, this fluid and responsive zinc silicate crystalline glaze discovers patterns through crystal formation and are shaped by colour and chemistry in this developing surface.
 
Through the colours and textures found at the coastline and it’s surrounding landscape, her work reflects the transient patterns which are created by nature. Capturing a sense of place through growth and movement over a solid form. Informed by the way light catches the ripple of water or the breeze through grasses. Seeking to evoke place, not as a fixed image, but as a lived surface where light, landscape and process meet.
 
Su graduated from Cardiff School of Art and Design in 1995 with a degree in ceramics, focusing on the human image. This lead to a career as a hair and make up artist for film and television, later returning to ceramics. She now works from her garden studio in South Wales.
