About the Artist

“Table-settings meant to be used passed, shared, and loved over time.”

Lisa Zenkel Sheldon is a Los Angeles-based ceramic artist who designs hand-built plates and serving pieces under the name Lisa Z. Sheldon Fine Stoneware. Her work is created for the table - pieces meant to be used passed, shared, and loved over time.

Each piece is hand built usng the finest Moroccan clay, then finished with artisanal, one-of-a-kind, jewel-colored glazes that catch the light and bring quiet richness to any setting.

Influenced by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, Lisa embraces gentle asymmetry, subtle irregularities, and the natural character of the clay. No two pieces are ever exactly alike; each one carries its own personality and presence.

Her pieces can be purchased as place settings or individual works of art.

Guided by a background in history of art, clinical social work, and yoga, Lisa approaches her craft with an emphasis on intention, connection, and ritual. She believes that the plates and serving pieces we gather around can shape how we experience a home, an environment, a meal - and one another. Her stoneware is designed to make even the simplest moments at the table feel a little more exquisite, grounded, and alive.

She previously designed Lisa Sheldon Fine Jewelry, sold through Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, and worn by many celebrities and well-known fashion icons.

Lisa has two adult children and lives in Los Angeles, where she creates bespoke stoneware collections for thoughtful tastemakers creating soulful gatherings.
