Susanne Hoffmann is a Danish ceramicist born in Busan, South Korea and now lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.
After a long career dedicated to fashion and fine arts, Susanne decided to become a full-time ceramicist and in 2017 founded her own studio 'S.H.Y'. The name is derived from the initials of her Danish and Korean names, Susanne and Hye-Yuen.

S.H.Y.’s work is entirely handcrafted in small batches in her studio in Copenhagen, using exclusively​ traditional techniques such as hand-throwing, coil-building, carving and pinching. All work is bisque fired, glazed and fired again. S.H.Y. produces both earthenware and stoneware ceramics.

Each ceramic piece is unique, signed and individually numbered.
