SUE PRYKE

Oh, the simple pleasure of morning coffee taken quietly from one of Sue Pryke’s clay cups. Used at The Farmyard at The Newt (see page 174 for more on that wonderful haven), each vessel is slipcast using liquid clay, one of the hardest techniques to master, but one that creates a smooth finish that fits perfectly in the hand – so satisfying and almost sensuous to the touch. Sipping from one of Sue’s pieces, contemplating the world while being reminded by the design in your hand that real beauty and artistry exist, is – truly – the very best start to the day.
