About SUE

Sue Calcutt’s work embraces emotions of trust, honesty, care, unconditional love and loyalty. Her work endeavours to celebrate the relationships and bonds that we create with animals and with the natural world. It recognises the great contribution that animals play in our everyday lives as well as their mystery and their power. As each piece evolves it evokes a narrative giving the observer a story behind its existence. Some pieces endeavour to remind us of the value of ancient culture (some already lost). However on the lighter side of her work you may find a piece that makes you smile and this for Sue is important as she feels we can never laugh enough. Her work is imaginative and unique. Some influence comes from the 18 years spent in Finland, surrounded by a strong sense of design and craft, forest and fauna as well as extreme weather conditions!

Her small ceramic sculptures are made from textured clays. Her current collection is predominantly Raku fired. Sue enjoys the spontaneous process of Raku and enjoys the rich depth and texture that it imparts to her sculptures.
