The Capital of Craft Podcast with Sue Pryke
Recorded Live at Craft Festival Cheltenham March 2023
The Capital of Craft Podcast with Sue Pryke
Sue Pryke is an award winning homeware designer and ceramicist with over three decades of experience.
Sue talks with me, Sarah James from Craft Festival and Find a Maker infront of a live audience at Craft Festival Cheltenham at the Town Hall in March 2023. Sound qaulity reflects a live setting.
We talk about Sue’s work and her new book, Design and Create Contemporary Tableware, which is co-authored by Linda Bloomfield.
She has a wealth of experience lecturing, delivering design in both consultancy, production and in-house roles, to international and High Street retailers and restaurants including IKEA and Marks & Spencer and The Newt. She was awarded the Homes & Gardens Ceramic & Glass Designer Award in 2014 and was a judge on Season 3 of The Great Pottery Throwdown. In recent years, Sue has concentrated on studio production of her own ranges, selling these directly at trade and public specialist craft events.
You can meet Sue Pryke at Craft Festival Bovey Tracey from June 9-11, 2023.
