Rooted in both Chinese heritage and a UK-based practice, Clover Lee explores the quiet intersection of tradition and contemporary craft through blue and white ceramics. Self-taught and working full-time with clay for nearly a decade, her journey reflects a deep commitment to material and process. A trip to Jingdezhen, China, in 2023 reconnected her with porcelain’s historic language and reaffirmed her dedication to personal expression in clay.
Her work blends wheel-thrown forms with intricate cobalt painting, drawing influence from nature, memory, and philosophies such as Daoism and Confucianism. Each piece becomes a meditation — on transformation, resilience, and the emotional landscapes we navigate. By fusing classical Chinese aesthetics with a modern sensibility, her ceramics offer a contemplative space that speaks to both stillness and change—expanding the emotional and philosophical potential of contemporary craft.
