Hello! I’m Kaylee Faye Lyons, the sole creator and artist behind Lyons Pottery.
I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest region of Washington state. I also have deep connection and love for the San Diego area, as my dad lives there. I was introduced to the art of ceramics by taking courses in high school, and soon enough I was spending half of my days in the ceramics room. Upon graduating in 2019, I went off to Washington State University in pursuit of a nursing degree. After some time passed, I found myself craving to get back on the wheel to throw, and came to the realization that pottery is my true passion in life.
I moved back to my hometown, transferred to Western Washington University, and decided to go after my dream full-force. I recently graduated from WWU, with a major in Studio Art concentrating in Ceramics, paired with a minor in Arts Enterprise and Cultural Innovation (AECI).
As of right now, I am creating work out of my home studio.
I am absolutely fascinated by the ceramic process from start to finish. This art form ignites a fire inside of me unlike anything else. Every time I sit down at the wheel I feel in touch with my true self and completely at peace. I feel a constant yearning for more knowledge about anything ceramics-related; I’m always wanting to learn more.
When I’m not throwin’ mud, you can find me: serving coffee at my job as a barista, working at Good Earth Pottery in downtown Fairhaven, hiking the trails of Bellingham, walking my pup Ringo, cooking dinners at home with my boyfriend Nathan, or snuggled up with a good book.
I sincerely hope my work resonates with you!
Lots of love,
Kaylee
