CTavaresPottery

Thank you for stopping by!

I offer functional pottery that makes a unique and thoughtful gift for a loved one, or for yourself! Pair a mug or two with a favorite coffee. How about a set of soup bowls paired with a gourmet soup mix? Please let me know if you are looking for something in specific as I create custom orders to suit your needs!

I am a functional potter living near Saint Louis, Missouri.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Art with a concentration in Ceramics from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.

I am interested in creating functional “everyday” vessels. I am constantly searching for creative ways that combine this functionality with elegance and beauty. Most of my pieces are thrown and then altered right on the wheel so that I can capture and record the responsiveness and tactile nature of the clay. I currently utilize different stoneware clays and I glaze using cone 6 glazes.

Creating and then passing on an object that is chosen over and over again for a daily meal, a morning routine, or a nightly ritual is truly an honor not shared by many artists. I strive to be the creator of your favorite serving piece, coffee mug, or teapot that is used every day.
