Meet the Maker

Dani Douglass Pottery is owned and operated by Dani Douglass, who creates out of her home studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dani earned her Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies. Seeking a more creative avenue, she pursued a career in plastic surgery. It wasn't until she found ceramics that she truly felt fulfilled; finding a place in ceramics where the arts and sciences meet. 

Dani pulls influences from both the natural landscapes and urban contemporary environments that surround her. She is as equally drawn to mid-century modern design as she is to the outdoor wonders of the great lakes, lush forests, and mountainous landscapes she's explored. You will see that reflected in her pieces as they often exhibit angular transitions, a minimalistic style, and earth tone glaze colors. She truly believes the mug in which you sip your coffee has the ability to impact the course of your day. In her work she strives for an ergonomically comforting design that brings its user the solace of home, the wonder of the outdoors, and a piece of art they can connect with.

Dani creates functional pieces, all handcrafted on the wheel. She is available for small batch work and limited custom design. Given the nature of handcrafted ceramics, all pieces exhibit unique qualities with no two identical forms. Thank you for visiting our shop and supporting small businesses.
