Lisa Hammond

For the British actress, see Lisa Hammond (actress).

Lisa Hammond (b. 1956) is a British studio potter.[1] She is a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association of Britain and its vice chair.[2] She has specialised in vapour glazing since leaving college, first using salt and, since the early 1980s, soda glaze.[3][4] She produces a range of functional ware for the preparation, cooking and serving of food. Alongside functional ware, she makes a range of work that she describes as "individual and playful".[5]

Hammond worked in Greenwich, London, from 1979 and recently set up a studio at Okehampton, Devon. In 2003-2004, she spent three months making and firing in the Mino, Gifu, area for several exhibitions in Japan. She taught ceramics at Goldsmith's College, London,[6] and has lectured and exhibited widely.

Hammond has been described as one of the most committed and driven of modern studio potters, "one of a small number who have clearly inherited the mantle of studio pioneers like Michael Cardew"[7] and "the best woman potter working in Britain."[8] Her work is represented in museums and collections in the UK and abroad.[9]
