Aardman Sculpture Trails
Susan designed and painted 2 sculptures for Aardman
Alright Me Babber
Created using illustrations taken from her first Bristol design, Alright Me Babber was located at Temple Meads Station for the Shaun in the City sculpture trail in 2015.
Brystall Maze
Susan created this sculpture design inspired by each of the four zones of The Crystal Maze: Medieval, Industrial, Aztec, and Future. In each of the zones, Crystal Maze fans will be able to spot various iconic Bristol landmarks including Cabot Tower and the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The ears of the Gromit represent the iconic Crystal Dome found at the centre of the maze, with the nose as the coveted crystals that so many contestants try, and fail, to win on the cult TV classic.
GWR Travel Guides
Susan collaborated with Severnside Community Rail in Partnership with GWR and South Gloucestershire Council to create a set of helpful travel guides. These informative guides are targeted at families, promoting day trips from local stations.
Each colourful 6-page guide features an illustrated map and showcases top travel fare tips, fun things to do at each destination along the line, and suggestions on day-trip itineraries.
World Food Passport
For Bristol's Food Connections Festival, Susan helped create the World Food Passport. Forty restaurants in three areas of Bristol got involved in the festival, offering free samples to customers who purchased the passport, providing a fun day out exploring different parts of Bristol and delicious food.
Each passport has a map, travel information and a page dedicated to each restaurant. Once the customer has received their food sample, the restaurant stamps their page.
Plimoth Patuxet Museums
Plimoth Patuxet Museums is a renowned living history museum located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, dedicated to recreating the 17th-century world of the Pilgrims and the Indigenous Wampanoag people. The museum complex offers an immersive experience, featuring costumed interpreters, historic sites, and educational exhibits.
Susan worked alongside the museum to create a design that celebrates the museum, creating gifts including postcards, greetings cards, tea towels, notepads and prints.

Arnos Vale Cemetery
Opened in 1839, Arnos Vale Cemetery is a peaceful Victorian garden cemetery in the heart of Bristol, offering both traditional and natural woodland burials. It’s a unique place where remembrance, nature, history, and community come together.
Susan created a design for the gift shop, and produced coasters, tea towels, prints and postcards celebrating this unique place.
Undercliffe House
Built in the latter half of the 19th century, Undercliffe House is an expressive Grade II-listed neo-Gothic house located in the characterful town of Lewes, East Sussex.
Susan was commissioned to create a Victorian-style timeline depicting the fascinating history of the residents that resided there.
