MEET: TAYLER STRAZIUSO | STRAY CERAMICS

There’s something grounding about holding a handmade ceramic piece in your hands — the weight of it, the texture, the quiet evidence that someone took their time. That’s exactly the feeling you get with Stray Ceramics, created by local ceramic artist and teacher Tayler, based right here in Joshua Tree.

Tayler’s work is a celebration of the female form — expressive, strong, and unapologetically playful. Each piece feels alive in its own way, shaped by hand and influenced by the desert that surrounds her studio. It’s art you can live with, admire, and enjoy every day.

As a woman-owned business in the high desert, Stray Ceramics carries a sense of intention and joy. Tayler genuinely loves the process of making, and you can feel that energy in her work. Nothing feels stiff or precious — it’s meant to be touched, used, and smiled at.

If you’re drawn to pieces that feel personal, creative, and rooted in place, Stray Ceramics is one to spend time with.

Come check out Tayler’s work next time you’re here at Joshua Tree Trading Post — and have a little fun with it.
