About Me
| Introduction | I am Susan Port Deller, originally from King of Prussia, PA and after 14 moves over 35 years and raising 4 children (currently with 6 awesome grandchildren), I am now enjoying McKinney, TX with my wonderful husband Bill. After 3 careers involving numerous types of Sales and Marketing roles, I am now retired and able to enjoy my pottery passion full-time! I love to create wheel-thrown or slab built pottery that people can love and enjoy daily (especially unique everyday useable pieces that make people smile, customized work to capture something memorable, adding special sayings &/or sculptures of beloved animals inside a mug or bowl and creating one-of-a-kind gift items for Weddings, Engagements, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Christmas, New Babies, …) ~ the sky’s the limit to what I look forward to creating 🙂 |
| What I Love about Ceramics | It is very therapeutic and fulfilling to me whenever I can create pottery! |
| How I started with ceramics | We were ready to make our 14th move from Virginia to Texas due to my husband’s job relocation, so I quit my job and took a pottery wheel-throwing class (something I’d always wanted to do) at Workhouse Arts in Woodbridge (an old prison converted into an incredible array of creative arts classrooms). I caught the pottery bug there! We moved to Texas during the pandemic and I purchased a Skutt kiln and Bailey wheel and created a studio in my new home! |
| My CV | I just completed my 1st craft show at St. Gabriel’s Church Holiday Boutique and it was Awesome! I received accolades all-day-long from everyone stopping by my booth (it felt great to be validated as a pottery artist). Plus, I sold 75% of the pieces I displayed and took 5 custom orders to complete! |
