Tivoli Tile Works was founded by artist, owner, and designer Caroline Waller in 1998 in Tivoli, New York. The studio is now in Saugerties, across the Hudson River, and creates unique pottery and hand-crafted dinnerware influenced by New York’s Hudson Valley’s natural beauty and artistic energy. Each piece is a functional work of art crafted by artist Caroline Wallner in her studio in Bearsville.
Caroline Wallner’s unique and distinctive artistic style defines the pottery. Every piece is meticulously hand-thrown, glazed, and painted, often featuring woodland creatures such as foxes, owls, and deer that are part of Caroline’s surroundings. The pottery is beautiful and designed for everyday use, as Caroline emphasizes that it is meant for serving, eating, drinking, handling, washing, and displaying.

Tivoli Tile Works celebrates the simple joys of everyday life with a strong emphasis on functionality and elegance. Caroline Wallner’s dedication to creating practical and aesthetically pleasing pottery is evident in her words: “My pottery is made to use daily: to serve with, to eat and drink with, to handle, to wash, to display. I love the simplicity of it; the functionality is important.”
Caroline Wallner established the company in Tivoli, New York, in 1998 before relocating to Ireland’s west coast with her family. She has since returned to the Hudson Valley, and Tivoli Tile Works is now located in Saugerties, NY, where it operates out of a charming studio.
Caroline draws boundless inspiration from the Hudson Valley for her pottery, combining beauty, practicality, and artistic expression. She explains, “Nature is where I find endless possibilities for my work, in form and color. The Hudson Valley is a perfect tableau of natural beauty and creative spirit. With such distinct and vibrant seasons, I am continually inspired.”
