Suzanne originally trained as a Lawyer, her career path changed when she married James Adlington, Glass Artist and the founder of Bristol Blue Glass Ltd.
Suzanne started experimenting with glass in 1999 wondering why her husband was so captivated by the material. Fusing glass using her husband's handmade kilns she soon experienced the fascination for herself.
"that feeling you have as an 7 year old on christmas morning, is what its like waiting for your creations to cool - you just dont expect feelings like that as a grown up".
While her children were young she ran Exmoor Glass which enabled her to experiment and create jewellery and other items in glass and other materials at beautiful Porlock Weir.
In 2012, when James became ill, Suzanne took over day to day management of Bristol Blue Glass Ltd - in many ways this has been the largest creative project she has undertaken so far. She has spent the last 14 years - first effecting a corporate turnaround for BBG and then developing it.
Its closure was forced in 2026 as a result of unaffordable energy costs and international instability.
