This stems from her love of gardening. Over many years, she has created a perennial garden in her backyard that provides flowers (and vegetables) throughout the growing season.
Susan Nelson is most passionate about creating flower arranging pottery vessels.
While working in the garden, Susan is often accompanied by her cat, Sally, who loves the outdoors about as much as she does!
Susan has found Japanese style ikebana flower arranging to be a relaxing creative activity and has designed many types of ikebana vases, including three types of small flower arranging vessels with attached pin frogs.
The unique shapes and textures of the pottery vases inspire plant material choices and the attached pin frogs make it easy to keep the flowers and greenery in position during and after designing.
These vases are perfect for gardeners because very few blooms need to be cut to create a beautiful arrangement. The pottery, completed by the addition of plant materials, brightens whatever room in which they are placed!
