Lisa began taking basic and then advanced pottery classes at two Texas colleges in the Dallas area in the late 1970s. After acquiring basic skills, including clay and glaze formulation, she developed an interest in slab techniques, focusing primarily on sculptural pottery and raku. During that time, she began to show and sell her work. After moving to North Carolina in the mid-1980s, Lisa continued taking classes, first at Central Carolina Community College in Sanford and then at Jordan Arts Center in Cary.
While Lisa has extensive wheelwork experience, she prefers handbuilding with slabs or extruded forms as well as creating wearable art by combining clay accents with metal, leather or hemp. Natural and fantasy forms are common themes in her work, and she also draws upon Celtic, Greek, Egyptian and Roman mythologies to design or decorate her pieces. Some of her work can be viewed at www.eclectikos.com.
