Lisa Hammond MBE, a pioneer of soda-glaze firing, combines strong uncomplicated forms with highly tactile surfaces.
Alongside her series of thrown functional ware, this influential London potter explores a range of individual wheel-thrown vessels – bowls, bottles and jars that are decorated with brush marks and poured slips and glazes, taking on an intriguing depth when fired. The finished works suggest the softness of clay and celebrate a handcrafted quality.
Don’t miss this chance to admire Lisa’s recent body of work, through which she primarily explores a range of bottle and jar forms, each bearing individual and playful surface decoration.

“Through my education, practice and persistence I have developed a unique method with an aim of utilising the versatility of clay to its potential.”
“My making process is a daily repetition in a calm and quiet place. My work is a reflection of thoughts and sensibility in these moments of making.”
“I am wary of having a formula, thinking I have cracked the code… The feeling of satisfaction is surely my enemy. I need to stay focused on trying to create work that has real freedom in it, freedom from materials, method or mentality.”
“Central to my work is the concept of the vessel: creating associations with sharing, ritual and celebration, reminders of our humanity, our history and connection with nature.”
