NEIS Success Story

LISA SANASI CERAMICS

Lisa Sanasi moved to Killcare 15 years ago with her family. During this time the natural beauty of this stunning part of the Australian east coast, has been the backdrop of her daily life.

Lisa became acquainted with the art of pottery 25 years ago but it was not until January 2017 that she decided to take her interest from being a hobby into a business. She approached Sydney Business and the Federal Government’s NEIS Program to assist her with the establishment of her new business “Lisa Sanasi Ceramics”.

Her pieces echo the simple but striking forms found along coastal rock platforms where there is strong evidence of tessellation and honeycomb rock erosion which reveal misshapen triangular and oval patterning. These shapes translate beautifully into practical ceramic ware. Plates, bowls and dishes are both functional and sculptural. Every piece is a hand made one off and produced in her Killcare studio.

Her works are now most sought after and she supplies serving dishes to the Fine Dining Restaurant “Bells at Killcare”.
