Susie Wilson

Susie is a Teaching Fellow in Art and Design on the IFP and also teaches Short Courses at the University's Centre for Open Learning. 

She previously taught Drawing, Printmaking and Artists' Books at Edinburgh College of Art and also teaches workshops in adult education and schools in and around Edinburgh.  

Susie was awarded her degree in Drawing and Printmaking in 1991 from Edinburgh College of Art, where she also obtained a Postgraduate Diploma. 

Her work has continued to be print-oriented, but her practice has expanded to include text /image and 3D form. These elements have often been realised in the various forms of an artist book, and she greatly relishes the possibilities for conjunction and collision which this form offers.

Susie was recently awarded the Maureen Duke Educational Award, Society of Bookbinders (2021), Nancy Graham Memorial Book Prize, VAS, (2019), Sally Schofield Memorial Award (Visual Arts Scotland, 2015) and was an invited Artist in Residence at Edinburgh College of Art Library (2016).
