Suz O’Dell

Suz has been a craftsperson for over 25 years.  Inspired by her German and Mexican heritage, she found herself drawn into the arts at an early age.
She has worked as a professional photographer in California, a glass artist in Kona, Hawaii and then went on to study gem cutting and metalsmithing.
In the late 90’s a new medium called Precious Metal Clay became available to artists and it was love at first sight.  A few years later, Bronze Metal Clay was introduced.   Suz started working in Bronze from day one since she could now experiment without the consideration of high cost.  Suz has been teaching classes for over 15 years and loves introducing neew students to the medium.
