Lisa Hammond
Britain
Soda and flame. Firing with conviction.
She's spent decades mastering soda firing—and teaching others to do the same.
Lisa Hammond is one of Britain's most respected functional potters, known for her soda-fired stoneware and commitment to the craft community. Working from her Greenwich pottery, she produces robust, generous forms with surfaces animated by the soda-firing process. She has taught extensively, demystifying soda firing through workshops and writing. She's also been a strong advocate for ceramics as a profession.
