Susan Messer McBride believes in the power of clay to heal the human spirit through the making and using of clay objects. Created for one human by another, clay invites all of us to its table.
Her current series, 'same body/different fire' focuses on the subtle variations when firing white stoneware and porcelain in a variety of kiln types and temperatures, including gas reduction, oxidation and wood firings.
A teacher by training who found clay to be her calling, Susan lived and taught in three countries before the age of 30, in China, Kenya and the United States.
