Nicholas Lees is a highly celebrated ceramicist who lives in Hampshire, although, his family has long held ties to the west coast of Scotland. He studied Ceramics at the University of the West of England (BA) and University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (MA). Predominantly working with Parian, a porcelain clay developed in Stoke-on-Trent in the 19th Century, much of Lees’ work is informed by a lifetime of looking at the same stretch of Scottish coastline.
He has won several awards including the Cersaie Prize at the Premio Faenza (Italy) in 2015, the National Sculpture Award at the Bluecoat Display Centre in Liverpool in 2010 and the Desmond Preston Prize for Excellence in Drawing at the RCA in 2012. Lees’ work has been exhibited widely in the UK and overseas and is held in private and public collections including York City Art Gallery, Westerwald Keramikmuseum in Germany, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and the V&A.
