Ceramics

Liza Allen is a ceramic artist based in Wentworth Falls, on Dharug and Gundungurra Country in the Blue Mountains. With over 35 years of experience in pottery, Liza has recently dedicated more time to her ceramic practice, creating both functional ware and whimsical bird sculptures that reflect her unique artistic vision. Working across hand-building and wheel-thrown techniques, Liza crafts pieces that are both practical and expressive. Her functional ceramics are designed for everyday use, while her bird sculptures showcase her playful and imaginative approach to form and design. Liza's work has been featured in several exhibitions, including the Blue Mountains Pottery Fair and the Blue Mountains Creative Arts Centre Members Exhibition. Her contributions to these events highlight her active engagement with the local arts community and her commitment to sharing her craft with a broader audience. Through her ceramics, Liza invites viewers to appreciate the beauty of handmade objects and the joy of artistic expression. Her work embodies a deep connection to the natural environment of the Blue Mountains and a lifelong dedication to the art of pottery.

I make one of a kind functional pottery, to add beauty and art to your everyday routine. Hand painted or carved, no two pieces are the same. Inspired by nature, folklore and what magic we find in our day to day.

Elizabeth Rose, a Blue Mountains ceramicist, draws inspiration from the interplay of light and water on the natural surfaces of the rock, lichen and moss in our environment. Elizabeth has a deep connection with the mineral world beneath our feet, creating exquisite surfaces that captures the light through alchemy. A natural multidisciplinary practitioner, the focus of her last 10 years has been sculptural and practical tactile form. Elizabeth Rose completed a Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia in 2002, Bachelor of Teaching Visual Arts 2004 and a Graduate Diploma in Technology Education 2006.
