Susan Feigenbaum Ceramics

Susan Feigenbaum is a ceramic artist and educator in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. 

Her sculpture is shown in exhibitions, galleries, and year-round in the Northrup King Building in the NE Minneapolis Arts District. Susan is a four-time recipient of a Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Learning Grant. With this funding, she brought clay learning experiences to older adults in senior communities. She was awarded a 2017 Jerome Project Grant for Ceramic Artists and created a new body of work that was exhibited at Northern Clay Center, Minneapolis. In 2019, Susan received a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative grant. With this grant, she created sculpture for an exhibit at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, taught a clay workshop at the Arboretum Learning Center, and presented artist talks about her work.

Growing up in Chicago, Susan first learned about art concepts and skills in classes at the School of the Art Institute. Awarded an academic scholarship to the University of Illinois, she earned a degree in graphic design and headed her own business after moving to the Twin Cities. Initially, she chose to explore clay as an escape from the flatscreen world of graphic design. Now the study and creation of ceramic sculpture is a full-time pursuit. 

Susan is a graduate of MN NICE, an advanced certificate program in ceramics at Northern Clay Center. Her sculpture has been commissioned by individual collectors, the City of Eden Prairie, and has received numerous awards in local and international juried exhibitions.
