Susan Brooks (American, b. 1951) grew up in the Bronx. Her father was a designer and molder of plastic toys. Brooks attended Parsons School of Design in New York, but moved to Berkeley, California in 1971. Although Brooks started out as a painter, she began to sculpt metal and make jewelry in 1985. She also began to work in ceramics and mixed media. The City of Berkeley declared November 18, 2008 to be "Susan Brooks Day", recognizing her for her career as a working artisan, her work as co-founder of Berkeley Artisans Holiday Open Studios, and her work on behalf of the artisan community.
