#2002 ... Once was clay

Simple. Crafted. Contemporary... Sue Dasler creates fine contemporary ceramics. Go along to her studio and check out the simple tapa designs ... we purchased a set of cups and saucers. Sue's work is shown throughout New Zealand in numerous galleries. All work is wheel thrown with form and function as the primary focus. Sue's inspirations come from the functionality of simple forms, patterns from our environment and culture, the immediacy of making from throwing on the wheel and the intimate relationships we developed with the domestic ware in our homes.
