Bringing the Forest Home

Stuff We Love

Aug. 17, 2024

Is your table missing a centerpiece that gets guests talking? Wish you had a woodland-inspired mug at your side for a summer sunrise? Want all of the above to bring to mind the best of northern Michigan? We’re blown away by the work of Rachel Liebler at Cold Creek Arts in Beulah, who puts the beauty of our region front and center on her ceramic creations. We’re talking trilliums on coffee cups, curling strawberry vines on dinner plates, and make-you-look-twice owls on vases. Shop online at etsy.com/shop/ColdCreekArts or find some of Liebler’s work at Oliver Art Center in Frankfort. (As of press time, she also teaches Intro to Wheel Throwing, a beginner ceramics class, at the center if you feel inspired to take up the craft yourself! The class is $150; sign up at oliverartcenterfrankfort.org.)
