An exploration into storytelling through clay.

Every piece is unique: handmade, handcrafted, and hand-painted with love. It’s my hope that these pieces tell a story about love, and find their way into your home and heart as they transform in meaning and significance, just as they’ve transformed multiple times in their journey to your hands.

My name is Caitlyn Joy and I’ve been working with ceramics off and on for my whole life. Originally based in San Diego and currently in North Carolina, I draw inspiration from motifs that traverse lifetimes and urge us to remember our childlike wonder and passions. I am in love with love, and the ability for people to connect in our universal experiences and emotions. To create is to have an outlet, and to share my work is to grapple with vulnerability and dare to dream that I can touch the heart of a stranger or friend. Thank you for looking at my work and supporting me, I hope these pieces that I’ve given a piece of my heart to encourage you to dig deep, dare to dream, and enjoy the journey. I love you.
