Sashay Pottery was born in the quiet yet profound moments of the 2021 pandemic lockdown in Hong Kong. Founded by Benny Lee, a creator with an unrelenting passion for craft and a refined eye for design, Sashay embodies a harmony of function and aesthetic, now proudly based in London.
At Sashay, we believe that everyday objects should not only serve a purpose but elevate the atmosphere of your home. Each of our pieces is meticulously handcrafted, bringing together earthy tones to create unique items that speak to the senses. Inspired by the natural world and refined with artistic integrity, our collections stand out, effortlessly blending beauty with utility.
Whether it’s a delicate vase or a functional bowl, each Sashay piece is made to last and designed to transform the spaces it inhabits. We also welcome commissions, encouraging our customers to collaborate with us in creating something truly personal and bespoke. We invite you to reach out, whether it’s to inquire about a custom piece or simply to say hello.
At Sashay Pottery, we believe in the artistry of everyday life, where form meets function, and every object is made to be cherished.
"I’ve always believed that the objects we surround ourselves with should tell a story—one that is personal, but also universal. In pottery, every time i center a piece of clay, I find satisfaction and peace. It’s the feeling I strive to capture in every piece of pottery I create. Sashay Pottery started as my way of finding calm and creativity during a difficult time, but it’s grown into something much more. Every piece I create is a reflection of my journey, inspired by the places I've traveled and the textures of the natural world. I hope my work brings a sense of beauty, connection, and that same quiet peace into your home, just as it has for me."
