Susan Cohn

Susan’s prolific talent, which nurtured the foundation of Workshop 3000 to encourage alternative ways of creating and producing jewellery forms, has been recognised by the National Gallery of Victoria by the inclusion of her work in its collection.

Her interests expand beyond jewellery into the design of small accessories, costumes, and into industrial design, and the design of all her price tags, labels and cards are evidence of her six years work as a trained graphic artist.

She has exhibited extensively in Australia, East and South East Asia, Japan and Europe. She has won several awards including an Australia Council Fellowship Grant in 1994. She is President of the Board of Craft in Australia and is represented by the Anna Schwartz Gallery.

Major recognition in 1995 was on an international scale, when Susan’s elegant and evocative bowl design was accepted by the renowned Alessi company of Italy for world wide distribution. She is the first Australian to achieve this acclaim.
