About the Artists
Lytha Nicholson
I feel so fortunate to have a creative side and to always find an art community of supportive, kind and fun people. It happened recently here in Chapin. Being new to the area, I discovered the Art League, Crooked Creek Park and the marvelous pottery studio. It was time for me to find a new direction. Having been a painter for years, my hands, mind and soul were seeking a new form of expression. Pottery has become my new focus….. and what fun I am having!
From day one I wanted to do 3 dimension, whimsical people. I began with Christmas gifts for my family based on their interests, piano, guitar, photography etc. After the holidays, I needed a new goal. My high school group of 14 women meet yearly, so this year I am making “women” again based on their interest…cooking, art, flowers, photography etc.
Lately the need for a new focus turned into Chapin high school sport figures. I now lay awake at night thinking of ideas for new people. My artistic juices are flowing again!! Thanks to the availability of the pottery studio and the support from the Art League.

My experience in creating pottery pieces is just a bit over six months, The path I followed to create pottery is not only interesting but also diverse. After 5 years as an Army Ranger (Vietnam, etc.), it only seemed natural to begin a career that would provide a dramatic switch from “destroying” to “creating.” Consequently, I decided to become a “man of the cloth.” I became a SAILMAKER. After nearly 30 years of working with my hands to fabricate sails, boat tops, and related items, I, like so many people, retired and took up GOLF! To say that I became addicted to the game is clearly an understatement. After several years, the “golf addiction” lost all its attraction, and so I began looking for a new “addiction.”
POTTERY! Working with my hands to fabricate items out of clay was an easy transition, and it has hooked me forever. I have not yet taken up throwing on the wheel, but it’s something to look forward to down the road. My pottery, “And Baby Makes Three.” received a Merit Award in the 29th Annual Crooked Creek Juried Art Show.and Sale.
