Charlie Cummings Clay Studio Features Online Exhibition of Lisa Hammond's Work

Charlie Cummings Clay Studio & Gallery is very pleased to present the first
United States offering of work by this exciting British ceramic artist. Lisa's exceptional soda and shino work have gained international acclaim, including shows throughout the UK and in Japan. Lisa Hammond is most well known for her body of soda glazed studio pottery, both functional and decorative. She is also recognized for her innovative use of shino glazes, based on her work with the distinguished Japanese wood-fire potter Rizü Takahashi. Simplicity is the hallmark of Lisa's work. The rich colors and textures of her soda and shino glazes enhance the classic elegance of her traditional forms. Lisa is the cover artist for the August/September issue of Ceramics Monthly.
