5 out of 5 starsThe salt and pepper shakers are fantastic! I was tasked with buying some great ones as a gift, and I hated everything I saw in stores. These are perfect, and the recipient loved them, too!

5 out of 5 starsWonderful salt and pepper shakers! More like a sculpture than shakers. And the artist is great to communicate with. Love these!

5 out of 5 starsI ordered 5 different vases, and it felt like Christmas for me when I opened the box today. I love the uniqueness of each one and can’t wait to see my daughter’s expressions when they received these as Christmas gifts. The vases were wonderfully packed, the shipping time was fast, the correspondence with Cara was great. I will shop here again.

Loading the kiln
Taylor Ceramics started as an exploration of form with no rules or limits.
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.

I love throwing & hand building with thin porcelain slabs. I focus on simple lines and forms with subtle, delicate details. I'm also a part-time public school art teacher & when I'm not in my studio I am quilting, swimming, baking or basket weaving.
