Eco-Friendly Clothing
 
Exclusive design by a mother-daughter team, styled to flatter women's bodies. Super soft eco-friendly and organic fabric. Highest quality, breathe-able fabrics. Created in the USA! See the collection during gallery hours or call for a personal consultation. Bring a group of friends to shop together. See calendar for October 3 Kick-off Party. 


 

Teapots 
On a cool fall afternoon what could be better than a warm cup of tea shared with a friend? We have 3 sizes from 4 cup down to individual serving. Salt firing creates an unusual "orange peel" finish on the surface. Highly desirable for collectors but perfect for anyone! Don't miss these.
The Flower Shoppe Vase
from Heidi Fahrenbacher of Plainwell, Michigan. 
Rose hips and fall flowers look charming in Heidi's Flower Shoppe vase. You can use it as a tooth brush holder too. How's that for creative and versatile ? !

The magic of raku creates an arty box for display or jewelry storage. Midnight on the beach illuminated by a starry sky. Romance.......

Betsy Ratzsch Pottery- heads

Modern Artifacts Jewelry-by Betsy Ratzsch
The ancient peace of bronze combines with stone and style of today's woman. Perfect to accent your wardrobe or to give as a gift.

Ada covered bridge oil painting 
by Mary E. Andersen
Talented local painter Mary E. Andersen executed this wonderful oil painting of our Ada covered bridge especially for Betsy Ratzsch Pottery. Spring floods reminded all of how fragile physical structures are. We love you, covered bridge! Giclee prints are available as well as the original. On display now in the gallery.
