Our Pop-Up artist for the end of April and May is Suzanne Basnett! Each month the SHS features different artists. Come by to view this amazing work.
A portion of all sales supports the work of the Steveston Historical Society.

Suzanne has been working with clay since 2012 when she took her first wheel throwing class. Two years later she set up a home studio in a shed in her backyard in historic Steveston.

Her pots are primarily thrown on the wheel, but recently she has been exploring slab building and coiling and combining these processes. She’s also been exploring creating more sculptural work and is excited to see where this leads.

Striving to make pots both functional and beautiful to be used and enjoyed every day. Suzanne is a member of and very active with Fraser Valley Potters Guild and Potters Guild of BC.
