liza is a 30 year old multi-disciplinary artist, musician, and pottery teacher born n’ raised in hollywood, fl. she/they attended the university of north florida, first discovering her love for clay in 2014 in stephen heywood’s beginner’s wheelthrowing class. watching steve throw a pot was all it took to get absolutely hooked, and liza continued to work with clay throughout college regardless of time or major requirements, eventually majoring in Sociology with a minor in Ceramics.

in 2018, Liza began a five year teaching journey, supplementing a highly experimental practice by offering classes at community pottery studios and institutions all around broward county. however, with a few too many close calls on the i95’s deadliest mile and a professional kick in the ass in 2023, Liza launched her own studio on an order of passion and spirit, which is where you are now 🐊

about the work: liza combines a range of wheelthrowing and handbuilding techniques to create quietly curved, occasionally complex forms with weathered surfaces that reflect the south floridian landscape. liza concentrates mostly on drinking and storage vessels meant for sharing resources with the community.
