Lisa Stevens
After a long and successful career as a sculptor at Aardman Animations (Wallace and Gromit-Curse of the Wererabbit, Chicken Run and more,) Lisa Stevens chose to focus on raising her family, using clay as a way to relax and remain creative. During these years, she has developed her own style through continual experimentation with clays, glazes and textures.
Lisa works from her small home studio near Bristol Airport, taking inspiration from coral reefs, flowers, geology, moss and lichen. Most of the work is made of high-fired porcelain clay, which can be translucent when held up to the light. Wall sculptures and bowls are small-scale, delicate and decorative, often the creamy white of pure unglazed porcelain, or vibrantly coloured using stoneware glazes, underglaze or melted glass.
The intricate textures are not created using stamps, texture sheets or moulds, instead Lisa uses a variety of small tools to create the patterns. This is a time-consuming process, but the end results are crisp, organic and each piece will be truly unique.
Through her work, Lisa hopes to highlight the issues that human activity has on the environment. Small changes in each of our behaviours can add up to make a big difference.
