Kyle has been working in clay for over 10 years, including five as a student here at The Clay School. He enjoys creating simple forms, letting the color and texture of pinched or thrown clay serve as decoration. Much of his inspiration is derived from the textured forests and terrain that surrounded him during his childhood in Maine. His quiet, muted colors are achieved by kneading dye directly into the clay and are selected to evoke a sense of calm and tranquility. He loves helping to introduce new students to the fabulous world of clay!

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.
