Lisa Proper
Functional Art Pottery
e-mail: lisaproper@gmail.com
Lisa Proper is a home based studio potter based in Switzerland, Florida. Lisa has studied under several local potters and continues to take courses from master potters from around the country. After retirement from Speech Pathology in 2007, she has devoted herself to enriching her pottery skills. Lisa throws most all of her pieces on the wheel.
Almost all people use pottery in their everyday lives, but only a handful of individuals use handmade pottery on a daily bases. It seems that even if we own a favorite piece of handmade pottery, its main use is to sit on a shelf and look attractive and maybe get used on a special occasion. The pottery pieces that I predominantly make are unique, one of a kind, yet functional pieces that are meant to be used every day. I tend to make pieces that are not readily available in stores such as course salt cellars with spoon slots, berry bowls, garlic jars, etc. However, my favorite pieces to make are pitchers and teapots. I am always experimenting with different glaze types and colorants. By sharing my pottery with others, I hope that more people will actually use art in their everyday lives.
