Laya Creations is the realization of a dream!
Laya is the alter ego of Allison Kehoe, an east coast native who has had a goal of owning an art business for years here it is! Allison grew up near Boston, later lived on Cape Cod, and has since relocated to warm and sunny southern California, where she hopes her arts and crafts dreams will come to life.
Allison has always been an artist at heart, taking local classes and entering work in juried fairs as early as elementary school. Her formal education came in five years as a fine arts and crafts major at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts. While there, she took nearly every class offered from drawing, painting, and sculpture to metals, glass, and weaving. The turning point came while taking a business arts class Allison's professor gave her all the convincing she needed to pursue a career doing what she loves. She began entering fairs and showing her work in local galleries and offices. Combined with an internship at a local artists studio, she was gaining valuable footing in achieving her goals. In what little spare time she had left, Allison worked at an American Craft gallery that helped fuel her passion and taught her to appreciate quality craftsmanship, customer service, and the endless possibilities the world of craft provides! By combining all of her skills and resources, Allison hopes to make your corner of the world a little more fabulous!
In each Laya creation, Allison strives to create individuality in a mass produced world. Each piece is carefully thought out and created to be trendy, fun, and wearable. The materials used are what is available at the time she is inspired. Most pieces that make up Layas jewelry come from estate sales, resale shops, old donated jewelry, and other recycled jewelry. Each piece has a history that makes it even more special! Accordingly, anything you see here is either a limited edition or a one of a kind treasure. Each piece shows the beauty that the human hand can create.
Through it all, and with each new creation, Allison continues to be inspired by the vast possibilities of jewelry making. Her mission is to celebrate the uniqueness of the handmade object in its many forms and to offer it to you at a decent price so that you might do the same!
Thank you for choosing Laya Creations and helping an artist live her dream!
