Eliza (Ellie) Weber makes stoneware functional vessel and sculptural forms. The surface techniques of vessel forms include finger tip texture, overall textured patterns finished with geometric patterns of bright colored glazes. Weber’s interest in asymmetry is reflected in thrown and altered functional pieces and small and medium scale assemblages.

 In addition to clay, Weber has also used handmade paper, fibers and found objects in many of her sculptural pieces. She has produced a series of brightly colored multimedia sculptures many of which reference the vessel and nature.

Weber also makes paintings and drawings, again inspired by her interpretation of the relationships that occur in nature.
