Yvonne Tornatta is a ceramic artist based in Bend, Oregon, where she creates wheel-thrown pottery that blends functionality with natural beauty. Inspired by the textures, forms, and colors of the high desert landscape, her work celebrates the tactile process of making — from centering clay to carving and glazing each piece by hand. Her studio is a quiet, intentional space where mugs, bowls, oil bottles, and other everyday objects are crafted with care and purpose. Every form speaks to the complexity of the ceramic process and the limitless possibilities within it, resulting in heirloom-quality pottery meant to be used, touched, and loved daily.
