Sue Bicks - Contemporary Garden Stoneware at West Country Galleries

Etruscan Shield Urn - multicolour

created by artist - Sue Bicks

West Country Galleries is pleased to welcome aboard renowned contemporary artist Sue Bicks.

Sue's work consists of individually handmade pots made in Devon which are put together from a range of stoneware clays decorated with different combinations of textures, slips, oxides and glazes.

Natural variations at all stages of the process means that each pot is unique. This is a contributory factor to the excitement of opening the kiln when the surprise (each time) is a work of art conjured up by the elements.

Sue told us “We don't believe in bringing our pots inside in winter, so they are fired to around 1250 deg C. This makes them frost resistant”. Some people just love to have them in their conservatories”

Sue also told us " I am busy working on a couple of pots for the Christmas Exhibition at Duchy Square Gallery". 

Sue is busy selecting more pieces to add to her gallery page, so watch this space for more of her stunning creations!
