Introduction	Lee Andrews I’m a Canadian living in GA, USA Haven’t started my business yet but am going to call it “Playing Dirty with Fire” I have 4 adult children but only my oldest lives with us, he is Autistic and is also in love with pottery. I love to throw and do hand building but I’m most excited to open my kiln and see what my glaze choices have created.
What I Love about Ceramics	I love to blare the music (mostly 60’s, 70’s rock) sing at the top of my lungs while creating in our pot shed.
How I started with ceramics	Took a class
What inspires me	making functional pieces and glaze
