Hi there,
I’m Laurie! I'm a ceramic artist. I love to work with my hands to make fun, functional artwork that sparks joy. I’m a new mom to a beautiful little one and I live in the mountains of North Carolina with my husband, son and doggies.
Let customers speak for us
from 24 reviewsI just REALLY LOVE my mug, Always such a smooth process ordering from Laurie and she is always so creative, thoughtful and went above and beyond with my order and making my mug how I had imagined it might look! Thank you so much again! I Love using it and I can't wait to order a custom again sometime!!!!!!
I purchased a teapot from Laurie that was picnic themed. So cute! I asked her if she would do a custom order to make cups and saucers to go with the teapot. One of the cups has our two cats incorporated in the design. I can’t wait to use the whole set together. Laurie is wonderful to work with and so creative when coming up with custom orders. I love her glazing style and playful illustrations. So happy with my full set!
Love love love. My daughter loves it. Laurie does amazing work .
This is a beautiful customized mug by Laurie Caffery- I love it so much and it makes me so happy to drink from it!
This is my third customized ornament from Laurie. Riker my forever pet is adorable.
Lauries work is impeccable.
This bowl is beautiful! I love Laurie’s glazing and illustrations tell a story on every piece she creates! The inside of the bowl, the rim and bottom are filled with the farm theme.
This jar has a very detailed sculpted unicorn on the lid that is adorable! I store it in the bathroom and use it to hold facial cleansing pads, but it is a good size and could be used for lots of other things like cookies, dog or cat treats, etc. Very high quality piece!
Perfect for the inner child in you! I have a couple pieces from her and they all make me feel so happy inside. They are so beautiful and the level of detail she put in is impeccable!
This review has been a long time coming…I feel that I need to write a Laurie Caffery appreciation blog! I’ve been purchasing her artwork for several years now, ever since I ran into one of her pieces in-person in Asheville and was struck by how cute and whimsical her art is! Now I have more pieces than I can count, so much so that when friends come to visit, they ask: “Who is Laurie Caffery?” because I have so many of her mugs in my cabinet! Her work is so, so, absolutely beautiful, detailed, cheery, and fun…I look forward to my morning coffee every day because I get to drink out of these beautiful mugs; I look forward to my berries and yogurt each morning because I rinse the berries in my cute unicorn berry bowl; I look forward to washing my face at night because I store facial cleaning pads in my cute unicorn jar! You will LOVE her pottery and it will be impossible to only buy just one piece!
I am a huge fan of the whimsy and creativity of Laurie’s mugs. She listens to her clients and really puts her heart into her work. When I was looking for a specific piece she personally
Looked for it and found it for
Me in the area. I smile very time I use her must. I now have the stein above for my coffee, the regular size if for tea, and the child’s cup with my espresso machine. I am 1000%, yes 1000% satisfied. I cannot wait for her seasonal release this fall. ❤️. Thanks Laurie.

I have several pieces by Laurie Caffery- a tall pottery studio stein and a gorgeous large pottery studio round platter - I use them all the time and the best thing about them is the beautiful and whimsical details that are so fun to look at and always bring a smile to my heart - I also have a mini mug and kiln key chain which I carry every day !! Seriously the quality is excellent and the art is so original and who doesn’t love unicorns and rainbows - seriously wonderful !!

The Process
My work enfolds many different forming methods, from wheel throwing to slipcasting and everything in between. Once a piece is formed, the fun part begins: decorating! Each of my illustrations are carved into the surface with a thin knife and then inlaid so that they pop against the white clay. From there, each piece is hand painted and glazed and fired in my (*mostly) solar-powered electric kiln. Yay, sun!
