From 1975 to 1979 she studied Ceramics and Tapestry at Edinburgh College of Art before focussing solely on Ceramics at the Royal College of Art between 1980 and 1983. Her work is focussed on coil-built pots made in natural hues. Lee’s practice involves precise mixing of raw metal oxides into the wet clay to create distinctive strata that run through her pieces. \n\nDrawing is an intrinsic part of Lee’s making process. Once every pot has been fired, she draws it, often annotating the drawing with comments, and recording the specific mixes used to create the strata. As Lee describes, the process of drawing allows her to analyse the individual pot and the specific combination of metal oxides and clay. During the making process, the final colours are hidden and therefore it is only after the pot has been fired that Lee can analyse the results. The drawing is then used to inform the design of the next pot.
