Welcome to Episode 53 of Why Make? On this episode we talk with Robert F. Lyon, a woodturner, artist and educator who lives and works in the Columbia, SC area.
Literally climbing the walls with handmade ladders as a small child, the sky was the limit, as Robert explored model rockets and building theater sets, before landing in art school for college. His lifetime in the arts started in ceramics when he discovered he could spend the whole day at the wheel and not notice the passage of time. No matter what he did Robert always wanted everyday to feel like that flow state.
We talk with Robert about being an assistant professor at Louisiana State University where he helped to set up one of the most vibrant ceramics programs in the U.S at the time before discovering the lathe. After 5 years in administration Robert returned to teaching in the art department at the University of South Carolina until retiring in 2017. Robert has continued with enthusiasm to teach, and explore the lathe, making his outlandish turned forms during his full-time art practice.
Join us as Robert F. Lyon takes us back and forth across the Rio Grande, flowing through his minds eye, into those places where he finds inspiration.
