Shoreline Moment I | Lake Michigan Ceramic Mug with Beach Sand

Shoreline Moment I | Lake Michigan Ceramic Mug with Beach Sand

This mug is part of the Shoreline Moment series, a group of forms that focus on a single, defined element—capturing a moment along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

The surface centers around a circular sun form, set against a deeper blue field. It’s not meant to describe a specific time of day, but it carries that sense of a moment held—something seen and remembered.

The upper portion is finished in a soft, layered blue glaze. Subtle shifts in tone and surface echo the movement of clouds or the surface of water. Below, the darker field holds the sun and surrounding texture, where the glaze includes Lake Michigan beach sand. This brings small variations and speckling that connect the piece directly to the shoreline.

Across the surface, there are faint lines and marks—some drawn, some formed through the glaze—echoing what is left behind as water moves across the sand.

The handle is handbuilt and shaped to sit naturally in the hand. It has a quiet curve and a softened surface that balances the more defined imagery on the body of the mug.

This is the same form used throughout the Shoreline Moment series, allowing the surface and focal element to define each piece.

This piece is part of a group of mugs that share a similar structure and price point, each holding a different variation of surface and moment.
