Lisa began potting in 1970 in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1972 she emigrated to Australia and settled first in WA before moving to Tasmania where she studied ceramics at the University of Tasmania. Over the last 30 years her work has changed from large hand built pieces to the fine porcelain bowls and vases she is producing today. She use porcelain for its qualities of strength, translucency and purity. It is a material that demands a high degree of technical skill and concentration. For much of her production she uses slip casting techniques however she likes to introduce an element of randomness and spontaneity by the gestural application of the black lines. Recently she has returned to hand building and is also exploring abstract sculptural forms using slip.
