Kyle has been working in clay for over 12 years, including five as a student here at The Clay School. His work explores how time and our interactions with everyday objects affect the world around us, focusing on how manmade objects are gradually worn down over time.

Kyle’s artistic process involves coiling and pinching the clay to form the final object. He then adds layers of slip, colored with black stain and iron oxides, to create depth. Finally, he applies several coats of terra sigillata, burnishing between layers to give each coating a lustrous sheen.

Kyle lives in Salem, MA with his wife, dog, and cat. By day, he is a digital marketing professional, and by night (when he’s not in the clay studio) he can usually be found pursuing one of his many other artistic passions including tapestry weaving, bookbinding, stained glass, drawing, or creative writing.
