Lott is a Craftsperson, Designer and Artist whose work revolves around the history of wood in Material Culture and Architecture. By combining a diminutive version of the balloon frame construction method with chairs and other objects pulled from the everyday domestic environment, Lott honors the logic and engineering brilliance of stud frame construction, taking what is usually only seen when passing by construction sites, and exaggerating it in a way that renews the viewer’s vision and understanding.

Lott has been an Artist-In-Residence at Anderson Ranch Art Center, Kohler Arts/Industry Program, Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, Center for Turning & Furniture Design, and the Vermont Studio Center. He has taught Woodworking & Furniture Design at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Murray State University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and teaches workshops throughout the United States.
