Handmade Lake Michigan Ceramics

I create one-of-a-kind ceramic mugs, bowls, vases, serving pieces, and sculptural vessels inspired by the Lake Michigan shoreline.

The colors, textures, and small details I notice along the water eventually find their way into my work—lines left in the sand, bird tracks, changing light, water movement, and the colors of the lake and sky.

Many pieces also include Lake Michigan beach sand in the glaze, bringing a small part of the shoreline physically into the finished work.

Each piece is handmade individually in my Grand Haven, Michigan studio.

Made to Be Used

I believe art belongs in our everyday lives.

A handmade mug becomes part of a morning ritual. A bowl finds its place at the center of the table. A vase changes as flowers come and go. A sculptural vessel may simply invite you to stop for a moment and look more closely.

My work isn’t meant to reproduce Lake Michigan. Instead, I bring the things I notice along the shoreline back to the studio and allow them to become something new in clay.

A Handmade Gift

Sending a handmade gift is always a good idea.

Each piece from C2C Gallery is individually made and carries the marks of the hand that created it. If you are sending a piece directly to someone as a gift, I am happy to include your personal message.

And if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, please contact me. There are often new pieces in the studio that haven’t made it to the website yet.

If you have questions or are looking for specific piece of artwork, please call me at 616-843-0870 or email me.  It is very possible that I have pieces available that I haven’t had time to upload to this website.

Experience the lake effect:  The wind, daily change of our waterfront, breathe in the fresh air and peace that envelops you as you walk along our fresh water ocean.  Crashing waves over piers, boardwalks, and even iceburgs can be gorgeous. The four seasons fuel our imagination for ceramic surfaces.
