Associate Potters

As a creative charity we work with so many talented people, this 'creationship' adds value to what we provide. As a donation to the charity, these potters also facilitate some of our workshops at no charge.

Andy Lees

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

Sue O'Connor

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.
