Our Instructors
Suzanne Cooper

A self-described nerd, Suzanne Cooper has not only earned a diploma in ceramics from Selkirk College and a BFA with Distinction/Honours in Ceramics from Alberta University of the Arts (AUA) but has also completed additional liberal/fine arts degrees. She has been working professionally as a Pottery Wheel Throwing instructor at various institutions for over 15 years and truly loves to teach.
Suzanne is social and super fun, but no nonsense. Getting progressive results from her students is important to her. She balances her teaching life with maintaining her own studio practice of both functional and sculptural ceramics. Her interests lie in seeking beauty, healing, personal growth, joy, laughs, and pleasure through the use of clay for both her and her students.
To get a feel for her work and to get to know her better, you can visit her website: www.suzannecooperceramics.com or find her on instagram: @suzannecooperceramics.
