Elizabeth Pickup Pottery
2026 – Taking part in Potfest in the Pens – Penrith Autumn and Potfest Scotland – Christmas
Elizabeth’s work combines rustic, natural pottery with brightly coloured hand painted ceramics, inspired by a combination of Kandinsky’s colourful energy and the street art found in Manchester and beyond. The unique surface decoration has been created using underglazes applied with paint brushes and fine liners, and underglaze transfers. All the decoration has been added at the green ware stage then fired, followed by a final transparent glaze. Alongside her hand thrown work, Lizi has created a range of characterful elephants , highly decorated using underglazes and a variety of stoneware glazes. After making 365 unique elephants in 2025, Lizi has continued to make one off elephant sculptures in varying sizes.
