After completing her Master of Fine Arts at Dunedin School of Art in 2017 Susan set up a workshop in which she continues her exploration of the body, the psyche, and states of being through jewellery. She engages with a variety of materials giving voice to both their energy and her own.
Susan saw Handshake 6 as a way to stay connected with the jewellery community post Art School, push her boundaries and meet others who were similarly motivated. Being able to choose a mentor was a wonderful opportunity provided by the program. Having admired the work of Iris Eichenberg for several years Susan had no hesitation in requesting Iris as her mentor.
