CAST Gallery

Lisa Boyter's current ceramics practice has its origins in the establishment of Artisan Studio Ceramics in Launceston in 1989, a working partnership with Rudolf Sibrava. The production focus of Artisan Studio was terra cotta domestic ware and Crater glazed vases and decorative plates. At the beginning of the 1990s Artisan Studio moved to a former apple packing shed at Robigana in the Tamar valley, and Artisan Gallery was established as an adjunct to the studio practice. Since around 2000 Lisa has primarily sold and exhibited under her own name, with production focussed on vessels in slip cast porcelain. Lisa's formal training in the arts includes a Diploma in Ceramics from Forrestfield Technical College, Perth WA (1977-80), an Associate Diploma in Art, TSIT Launceston (1987-89) and a BFA Visual Art, Ceramics and Print Media, University of Tasmania, Launceston (1993-95). Over the last two decades her work has been exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions including Artisan Studio Ceramics (Design Centre of Tasmania, Launceston, 1990), New Work- Rudolf Sibrava & Lisa Boyter (Handmark Gallery, Hobart,1991), Home Again (CAST, Hobart, 2005), Shades of White (Handmark Gallery, Hobart, 2005) and Applied Arts - Form + Function (Brenda May Gallery, Sydney 2006). In 2003 Lisa was awarded the Craft Arts Award at the Tasmaian Craft Fair. Her work is held in the collections of Artbank, The Australian Embassy in Beijing and the Devonport Regional Art Gallery.
