Kaylee Lyons is a studio potter based in Bellingham, Washington, where she was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.

Specializing in wheel-thrown, functional ceramics, she creates pieces designed for everyday use. Kaylee's work features sgraffito (“to scratch” in Italian), a decorative technique that involves scratching through a surface to reveal a contrasting layer of color beneath.

Her journey with ceramics began in high school, where she quickly developed a passion for the craft. She graduated from Ferndale High School in 2019 and went on to earn a BA in Studio Art with a concentration in ceramics from Western Washington University in 2024. Kaylee also holds a minor in Arts Enterprise & Cultural Innovation (AECI).

In addition to her studio practice, Kaylee serves as the Student Liaison on the board of WACK (Whatcom Artists of Clay & Kiln), a local nonprofit. She creates her work at Starflower Studios, a shared artists’ space in the Downtown Bellingham Arts District.

Kaylee also works as a barista at a local coffee stand and is employed at Good Earth Pottery.
