Having a go at throwing a pot. In the capable hands of Lee the Potter Man. Was great fun and will definitely be having another go. Cheers Lee.

Lee Steele - Ceramic Artist

After studying 3D design at York College of Further & Higher Education I went on to run my own pottery studio and gallery in Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire and have subsequently worked in schools, colleges and specialist care settings for over 15 years, teaching and inspiring students of all abilities and ages to “have a go”.

My own interests and inspirations include historical pottery, specifically Early Medieval which is born of many years as a historical re-enactor taking part in Late Roman, Saxon and Viking events both throughout the UK and in Norway.

My studio ceramics are often inspired by the natural and industrial landscape and display my love of texture and exploration of the ways in which texture can alter the form and shape of a piece.
