By The Sea Pottery

Beautiful pottery for your daily enjoyment.
My name is Cynthia Freyer and I specialize in functional pottery that reflects my love of the ocean and the beach. I believe in quality products that can be used over and over again with loved ones to make lasting memories. For this reason, I use stoneware clay, which is harder, stronger, and more durable. While my inspiration often comes from nature; I am also inspired by my environment, by daily life, by my interactions with people, by colors and textures, and sounds, and by my faith. I am passionate about the pieces that I create, as well as the community that I live in.
My inspiration almost always comes from my environment - the ocean and nature. It can also come from other artists, my family, friends, or anything that might trigger a burst of creativity, urging me to produce something. I create functional pottery with an artistic flair that speaks to you.
Art has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother encouraged diversity and self-expression, and art was a way for me to express myself. Even in adulthood, I found ways to channel my love for art and creativity into my everyday life. Whether it was by working as an elementary school art teacher, a cosmetologist, a care decorator at a bakery, crafting stage props for non-profit organizations, or planning elaborate events, I loved each opportunity and I am thankful for the role that they played in helping me develop my artistic sense. Currently, I am a member of the Ocean City Art League, Rehobeth Art League, and The Clay Guild of the Eastern Shore.
My pottery business is called By The Sea Pottery because the sea embodies my artistic mindset. My art is ever-changing as I grow, learn, and develop my skills. I hope that my pottery inspires you and encourages you to create. But most importantly, I hope that it leaves you with the sense of peace that the ocean brings me.
