Associate Potters

Andy's passion for Ceramics began in 1987 in his home town, of  Walsall, where he studied Art & Design. Following this he specialised in a Studio Ceramics course at the University of Derby, where he graduated in 1991. 
​In recent years he has been able to combine his devotion to Ceramics and his love of teaching others; he now offesr regular  Pottery Courses & Workshops, as well as producing his own Pottery-ware ​and Ceramic Audio range.
​His influences come from my surroundings but particularly my love of music, design, and all things mechanical

My Createbolton journey began around 2018 learning pottery with Andy Lees. I wanted to support the wonderful Create family and started Lymm Ceramic Art to sell my pottery to fundraise for CreateBolton.

I am influenced by the beauty of nature and abstract art. I focus on creating one-of-a-kind usable art.

Ceramics by Sarah.

I make thrown ceramics items for the home inspired by nature and sculptural forms. Ceramics is a huge part of my life,  I love creating, teaching and sharing the passion.

CreateBolton provides me with  the space to create with like minded people and creates a great sense of well being. I believe everyone should try playing with clay it is truly magical from handling clay to seeing the wonderful effects of glazing.

I discovered the wonderful place that is CreateBolton when I completed a 5-week pottery course with Andy in 2023 and my passion for creating beautiful pottery has grown from that point. I love making functional pots that also have decorative elements inspired by nature and some of the insects that visit my garden. CreateBolton is an amazing space, not only for the incredibly supportive community of lovely fellow potters but for the permission to build my skills and keep creating the pots I love, and hope others will too.
