About
Freddie Crossley (b.1993)is a London-based artist, cook and writer working across forms in confluences of clay, text, performance and food. His work is an invitation. "Through the stuff at the beginning, the stuff that sustains us and the last remnants, - the things we live with and the things we will never see again - vital, intimate, raw and lyrical, I am making work for you, with my body for yours."
Freddie received the prestigious Märit Rausing Scholarship in Ceramics and Glass in 2024 to undertake an MA at the Royal College of Art, London (2024-25). During this he won the Anglo-Swedish Society’s Scholarship to study at Konstfack, Stockholm in 2026. He took a BA in Literature at the University of Cambridge (2011-14) and studied at the Curious School of Puppetry (2016). He was Artist in Residence at Clare College, Cambridge in 2017, after winning the Duncan Robinson Art Prize in 2011 and 2014. He has toured performance work internationally and exhibited ceramic work across the UK including at CASS Sculpture Foundation, Hepworth Wakefield, Saatchi Gallery and Newlyn Gallery.
100 cups, 100 different forms, 100 unique combinations of ash glaze and clay, You Hold this to Your Lips and Think of Me; one hundred stories I won’t have time to write is an offering of 100 beginnings. Epic in the domestic, their extraordinary range of colour, from turquoise to blood red is achieved not through oxides mined and extracted at unimaginable human and environmental cost, but through a material which would seem to be at the end of all things, ash.
