Swan Studios has been a labor of love since 1996. High up in the foothills of the Capitan Mountains in rural New Mexico, Susan Weir-Ancker set her sights on opening a ceramic studio, not only for her own enduring love of creation through clay but also for her passion to teach others. “The vessels I make are lyrical, sometimes whimsical, sometimes more serious, some more sculptural, holding a idea rather than a substance. They all sing a celebration of life. I work abstractly as well as figuratively. Even though my work often deals with loss, impermanence, and death, it maintains a feeling of joy for life, and a freeing of the spirit.
