Lisa Orr is a studio potter that creates sumptuous utilitarian low-fire pottery for use in daily life. Each piece is an individual artwork, rich with color and texture. Though rooted in the deep history of ceramics, her forms are fluid and often gently asymmetrical: a combination of the clay’s natural expression and her own inspiration in the moment. Low relief decorations follow soft slip layers in suggesting a sky, coral reef, or flowers in bloom.
Lisa’s pottery pieces bring garden color to the table. Sturdily crafted, they will withstand decades of use and enjoyment. She delights in working in her studio exploring her newest form and glaze ideas. Every piece is made its unique best as if she were keeping it; afterward applying layers of flowing glazes to give rich, jewel-like color tones. Her customers follow the changes in her artistic evolution over the years and look forward to surprising new and beautiful results from the kiln.
