Footnote
Claudia Lis’s work illustrates the harmony of discord. Her vessels with reflective glazes, punctuated with rust marks that break the perfection of the celadon glaze are an amalgamation of opposites. As with this group of works, Lis often exhibits her vessels together as still life installations in order to heighten the subtleties of form and colour in her work.
Lis took a pottery apprenticeship in Germany before coming to the UK in 1997, where she worked in the studio of Rupert Spira until 2014, before establishing her own studio.
