Her work embraces an extensive range of thrown functional ware for the preparation and cooking of food, and to serve and eat from. Lisa feels very strongly that the work should be used as part of our every day lives. She also produces a range of individual work that is fundamentally functional, but challenges the user to be more inventive as to its use. The forms are strong fluid and unfussy, and aim to preserve the soft plasticity of the clay. Work is often altered to achieve the final form soft on the wheel, using this reshaping as a form of simple decoration. ''Pinched holes'' and ''belly buttons'' suggests handholds, and references to medieval pots.
