I started Taylor Ceramics in 2008, 7 years after getting my BFA in ceramics from the University of Delaware. Interested in a variety of construction methods, I divide my time between working on the potter's wheel and hand building with slabs using mostly porcelain, sometimes stoneware. I work within a group of forms that are consistent but that also allow for elements of spontaneity. The The element of LINE is a consistent thread in my functional wares - sometimes literally through the addition of stitched linen thread and often through the additional or subtraction of clay on the surface of a piece. I keep my color palette simple- I use a glaze called coke bottle clear on almost everything which is a transparent glaze with a hint of blue-green. This creates a cohesive look and allows me to almost exclusively focus on the subtle sculptural and linear details of each form.
