About

Dedicated the art of hand embroidery and natural dye, Susan Furneaux’s work is rooted in both past and present. Susan is influenced by her rural surroundings; using imagery and materials harvested Newfoundland’s flora and fauna to convey messages and tell stories. Her seasonal processes are reflective of a traditional Newfoundland way of life. She shares Black Hen Studio with her partner, metalsmith, Michael Harlick.
When not in the studio, Susan enjoys sharing her passion and knowledge through teaching at the Anna Templeton Centre for Craft Art and Design as well as the College of the North Atlantic’s Textiles: Craft and Apparel Design program.
