ESTUDIO 36

About me

lover of clay and coffee

Lisa Page

Well, I’m originally from Ontario, Canada, but I’ve spent more than half my life living and working outside of Canada – mainly in Asia and Europe.

In 2013 I moved to San Sebastian and in collaboration with 2 other friends, opened Kafe Botanika, a well-known cafe in the city. That was a special project.

In 2016 I began doing pottery as a hobby and completely fell in love with the process.

In 2021 I went back to Canada to study ceramics intensively at the Haliburton School of Art and Design in Ontario – located in the middle of a forest, next to a lake. I was in pottery paradise.

After completing this program, I returned to San Sebastian. Where I had the incredible opportunity to take over an existing pottery studio which I turned into lisap cerámica and later estudio36.

The studio has a very special energy – located just 7 minutes by bus from the center of San Sebastian – it’s my little piece of pottery paradise in the Basque Country which I love sharing with others.

My pieces

I love to make small pieces on the wheel that you can hold in your hand. My work is inspired by the qualities of nature and the changing of the seasons.

I love using whimsical pine needle designs in my pieces and creating textures which remind me of all the beautiful places I have lived and traveled to.

I love glaze chemistry. I love making my own glazes and applying oxide washes and slips to pieces. My style is minimalistic – inspired by Nordic design. I feel like with every piece I create, there is a transfer of energy.. I imagine each piece slowly making its way into a person’s daily life, bringing a sense of comfort and calm.

I hope you can feel the good energy that comes from each of my handmade pieces. Some of my cups/bowls are being used in my favorite cafes and restaurants in San Sebastian – you just have to turn over the piece and look for lisap – my signature stamp:)
