Hi there, I’m Suzi - Welcome to Klayhouse Studio. My work is inspired by the colours and textures of the everchanging Cornish coastline, I use this pallet to create glazes that bring my pieces to life. My work is designed to be both beautiful and functional, with a focus on craftsmanship and quality. My aim is that you love your pottery and grow to treasure each piece.

After discovering a love of clay in my 50’s, I made the big decision to close the doors of my wedding cake business that I'd run for 12 years and fully focus on ceramics. I wanted to get a deeper understanding of my material and practice so I threw myself right in at the deep-end and began a BA (Hons) degree studying 3D design craft & Ceramics at Arts University Plymouth and amazingly I graduated with a first-class Honours in 2022. Since graduating I have been experimenting with different ideas, seeing how they translate to clay, and developing my practice.

I love the whole design process, from the first sketch to troubleshooting the designs, and seeing it all through to completion. I especially love the challenge of repetitive throwing it can be quite a meditative process and achieving the precision of making work to the same height and size as the previous piece is very rewarding. 

Please contact me if you would like to pop by my studio and gallery space as I love meeting you all and discussing my work. If you can’t make it in person then I hope you enjoy exploring my Online shop to find unique gifts for yourself and loved ones.
