When her Mom framed the rooster she drew in kindergarten, Susan Eaddy decided that she wanted to be an artist. Since then she has been building on those basic skills learned at age 5 and never lost her love for “ClayThings”.

When she grew up, she worked as an Art Director in educational book publishing for 8 years. She illustrated over 70 educational books and covers in many different media, and won awards for her paper sculpture. She then became the Art Director at RCA Records Nashville, receiving a Grammy Award nomination for the art direction of the “Los Super Seven” CD package.

After 7 years she left RCA to open ClayThings Illustration. Today, she works entirely in polymer and modeling clay, and has appropriated every kitchen tool in the house for her art. Her ClayThings appear in magazines, books, catalogs, advertising, greeting cards, wallpaper, kitchen textiles & other licensed products. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, two fat cats, and two geriatric newts, OliviaNewt and John.
