Kevin Lehman is native to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where his love for clay began. In elementary school Kevin had his first experience using a potter's wheel. This experience drove him to pursue ceramics in his education and life. While attanding Garden Spot High School, he built a potter's wheel with his father and purchased an electric kiln, that he used for many years. In May of 2000, he graduated from Millersville University with a Bachelor's begree in Art. Eager to apply his skills after school, he started his pottery business in a small backyard shed with his home-built throwing wheel and a salvaged gas kiln. Fortunately, Kevin was able to relocate to his current studio, a 5000 square foot warehouse, at 560 South Prince Street in Lancaster, PA (site of the former Posey Iron Works). The present facility allows ample room for teaching classes and engaging in clay projects, large and small. Kevin has focused considerable attention to large works of pottery: colossal jars, tile fireplaces, grand wall decor and large exterior sculptures.
