Freyja Lee specialises in ceramic slipware, transforming functional tableware and heirloom vessels into vibrant canvases for visual storytelling. Adorning her pieces with folklorish themes, dancing deities, and mythological narratives, her practice draws deep inspiration from dreams, poetry, and the visceral experience of motherhood. Rather than relying on rigid preliminary sketches, she treats the clay surface like an intuitive canvas for collage, combining traditional sgraffito and wax-resist techniques to reveal a distinctly raw, woodcut-like quality.

With a foundational background in drawing and printmaking, Freyja works from a garden studio in the hills of North Wales, capturing creative moments amidst the beautiful chaos of family life. Freyja hand-throws the delicate vessels she paints on and is continuously expanding her practice designing her own unique ceramic shapes.

“Humans have always told stories on pots, I'm excited to continue that tradition, exploring my own myth on functional and timeless objects.”
