Amy Roper Lyons

Amy Roper Lyons is a studio metalsmith and enamelist.   Lyons creates bold compositions of gold, silver and glass, each unique piece made by hand in her studio. She combines enamel processes like cloisonné and plique a jour with a broad palette of goldsmithing techniques. Lyons’ work draws inspiration from a number of sources. Her current plique a jour vessels synthesize traditional and digital techniques, and recent jewelry is sparked by photos of space taken by the Hubble Telescope. 

Her award-winning work has been published in books and magazines such as 500 Enameled Objects, CAST: Art and Objects, Digital Handmade, SNAG’s Jewelry and Metals Survey 2018, “Jewelry Artist“, “Ornament“, and “Metalsmith”. Lyons’ work is exhibited nationally at museums, galleries and craft shows, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show and the Smithsonian Craft Show. Lyons teaches jewelry and enameling at craft schools across the US. She received her BFA from the Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts) in Philadelphia, PA.
