Susannah makes pottery, among other things, in Southwest Detroit.

“It is in our bodies that redemption takes place. It is the physicality of the crafts that pleases me: I learn through my hands and my eyes and my skin what I could never learn through my brain. I develop a sense of life, of the world of earth, air, fire, and water […] — which could be developed in no other way. And if it is life I am fostering, I must maintain a kind of dialogue with the clay, listening, serving, interpreting as well as mastering.”

“A revolution that is based on the people exercising their creativity in the midst of devastation is one of the great historical contributions of humankind.”
