Through CCCC’s Continuing Education program, we are offering a Special Work Shop: “Exploring Form and Function” by Suze Lindsay

Suze Lindsay of Fork Mountain Pottery in the mountains of

western NC works in stoneware making pots subtly suggesting

human form and character as she manipulates her forms by

altering them after they are thrown. An integral part of her

work includes using surface decoration to enhance form by

patterning and painting slips and glazes for firing in the salt

kiln. Suze and her husband, Kent Mclaughlin, share a passion

for working with their hands, and for making pots for everyday

use that are well crafted and a pleasure to use. That use can

range from a mug for your first cup of coffee in the morning

to lighting the candelabra for an intimate dinner.

“Pots are like people. Their form is described by some of the same definitions—lips, feet, and shoulders, and their character and personality can be expressed by being open, warm, generous, rotund, sensuous, loose or jolly. My use of the vessel/female metaphor lies in the subtle suggestion of figure in form. Vases have soft female curves and decorations that imply clothing. Many of my forms are raised on a pedestal like a foot that serves as a “skirt”. My method of stacking various volumes allows me to play with human proportions and relationships. Altering a pot out of the round creates contrasting angles that suggest hips and waists. The use of line and pattern accentuates the mood of nature of the pot, and can prompt its use for specific occasions. The techniques I use when making my pots allows me to create

each one with a personality of its own.” --Suze Lindsay
