BIOGRAPHY

 

 Lisa Knebel makes wheel-thrown white stoneware functional ceramics fired in a high-fired in a reduction kiln. Occasionally she carves or stamps a piece to add a design or texture.

Knebel finds inspiration in nature including the designs and colors of seashells. Most of her works have a spiral pattern. Sometimes she creates the spiral in the wet clay as it spins on the potter’s wheel. Other times she creates it with glazes and wax resist.
