In 1960, Susan Williams-Ellis and her husband, Euan Cooper-Willis purchased a small
pottery decorating company in Stoke-on-Trent , England, called A.E.Gray Ltd.
Susan had worked with A.E.Gray�s for some years, sending her designs there to
be produced exclusively for the gift shop at the Portmeirion Village in North
Wales, which had been created by her father, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis in 1925.
This was their first experience of the pottery industry. Previously Susan had
Fine Art training from Chelsea Polytechnic, where her tutors included Henry
Moore and Graham Sutherland
The beauty of
the Portmeirion Pottery collection of tableware, giftware and cookware, stems
from Susan Williams-Ellis� ability to design and model shapes that are both
functional and aesthetically pleasing, Susan has always expected her pottery
designs, both shapes and pattern, to fit comfortably with everyday life. Since
the 1960's Susan has created all the shapes by turning the originals by hand
from which the moulds were produced. The design department continues to create
new products, shapes and innovative ranges under the watchful eye of Susan, with
the modeling department maintaining the highest standard of design.
