Agnes Fries is a Swedish ceramic artist and designer working between Sweden and Jingdezhen, China. Her practice is rooted in a fascination with porcelain as both a material and a way of exploring the world. Through vessels, she investigates how form, colour, and decoration can invite moments of presence and quiet attention.

Educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design, Agnes has spent many years working alongside craftspeople in Jingdezhen, where centuries of porcelain making continue to shape her practice. The meeting between Scandinavian design and Chinese ceramic traditions forms the foundation of her work.

Whether creating a single cup or a large vessel, she is interested in objects that reveal themselves slowly - through their proportions, graphic surfaces, and the experience of living with them. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in public collections and private homes.

Agnes Fries was born 1979 in Uppsala, Sweden and graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2005.
