After studying at the Burslem School of Art, she began her career in 1922 at A. E. Gray & Co. Ltd., initially hired as a painter. Her talent quickly became evident, and it wasn’t long before she was designing her own patterns. However, Cooper wasn’t content to decorate other people’s shapes. She wanted creative control from start to finish. In 1929, she took a bold step and established Susie Cooper Pottery, marking the beginning of her independent journey. With full command over both form and decoration, Cooper created elegant, modern shapes adorned with fresh, innovative patterns. This was a radical shift from the fussy Victorian wares that still dominated many households.
