Lee has been a production potter for 40 years, so he must know something by now! He has a long association with the John C. Campbell Folk School , where he was the first resident potter. His new studio is now in Weaverville, NC . He has been a member of SHCG since 1976.

As his work has grown and progressed, the hand thrown pottery forms have become a canvas for painting and displaying his love of drawing, depicted in the multi-layering of surface decoration. He uses slip trailing to draw on the clay form, a technique which dates to Roman antiquity. This produces a raised decorative surface. Additional decoration is applied with sumi brushes and then an over glaze is applied. After firing the result is a many textured surface with a variety of tones. The pottery is high fired, lead-free, both oven and microwave safe.

Commissions are accepted for dinnerware, sinks (kitchen or bathroom), and tiles. Studio visits may be made by appointment. What I strive to accomplish with my work is a harmonious combination of elements of art for the eye, functionality for usefulness, and comfort in the using
