Shoreline Structure Bowl | Lake Michigan Ceramic Bowl with Beach Sand and Metal Detail

This bowl is part of an ongoing exploration of the patterns and textures found along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

The form is wide and low, designed to sit comfortably at the center of a table. It holds space in a quiet way—simple in shape, but with surface details that shift as you move around it.

A soft blue band moves across the middle of the bowl, echoing the way water moves just offshore. It’s not a fixed line. It drifts, breaks, and reforms—similar to what you see when standing at the edge of the lake.

The surface is finished with a glaze that includes Lake Michigan beach sand. That material brings subtle texture and variation, grounding the piece and connecting it directly to the shoreline where the work begins. Small speckling and irregularities are part of that process.

Along the rim, hand-formed attachments hold small metal elements. These details introduce a structural contrast—something slightly unexpected, but still quiet. They reference the idea of connection and tension found in both natural and built environments along the lakeshore.

This bowl works as both a functional serving piece and a sculptural object. It can be used daily or left empty to hold light and shadow throughout the day.
