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 organic forms are the elements that unify all of my collections. 

Ten years later I started taking basketweaving classes and began to imagine how I could integrate what I loved about that process into my ceramic practice. An opportunity to go to Greece for a month long residency provided the time and space to develop my woven collection as I worked in a studio atop a hill overlooking the Aegean sea. These pieces combine a lifetime of stitching, knitting, sewing, and weaving fibers into a material that has lost all malleability to become sculptural vessels- part basket, part vase.  

My functional wares are finished with either matte white or clear gloss glaze.  The woven vessels are a range of stained porcelain or stoneware with waxed linen stitching. The rings of clay are so tightly tied with the linen cord that there is no movement between the clay rings.

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.
