Susan Dewsnap Plate Appreciation Post

Susan Dewsnap is a ceramic artist based in Maine. She is currently a professor at Bates College in Lewiston, ME. 

When she visited the Maine College of Art this spring, she described her various influences and firing process, and also displayed her throwing skills and surfacing process. Her work is soda fired to cone 10 in a neutral atmosphere. Nearly all of her surface work involves painting with wax-resist to produce a highly graphic style, and her vessels and other work have a very strong focus on profile, both interior and exterior.

The profile, tactility, and overall visual balance of her work is phenomenal. I’m so glad I was able to meet her and purchase one of her big beautiful mugs (currently drinking coffee out of it!).
