In 2009, I started Taylor Ceramics- a line of handmade vessels for the home and table.  An interest in form and lines that are sewn, woven, and drawn onto or into the surface of simple, classic forms are the elements that unify all of my collections. 

Having always been fascinated with containers and the objects that occupy the space inside, I make forms to hold the objects I love the most - flowers and herbs from the garden, dried pods collected on a long walk, a slow growing jade or the coffee that I drink to start my day.

Most of my construction process begins with thin slabs of clay. Gently folded and wrapped sheets of porcelain come from a careful balance of experimentation and calculation. I strive to create subtle curves, interesting overlaps and unique juxtaposition of materials by incorporating waxed linen stitching.  

The surfaces of my wares are simple ranging from matte white to a clear gloss to unglazed and textural.  These classic finishes allow for the emphasis to be on elements such as shape, texture and very subtle hints of color.

The wares:

All pieces are made from porcelain or stoneware and fired to a temperature of approximately 2232 degrees. The glaze is food safe and all pieces are microwave and dishwasher safe. 

Wood fired pieces are fired to a temperature over 2300 F.

Shipping:

All domestic orders are shipped priority mail through the USPS.  Because of the fragile nature of ceramics, I go to great lengths to make sure your wares will be arrive in one piece - as often as possible I try to use recycled packaging materials.
