Words from the Potter: Soap dishes are one of those simple objects that, above all else, need to function. I designed my soap dishes with function and modern home aesthetics in mind. Four little feet to stand on, a few drainage holes to let your soap dry, and an easy to clean yet attractive glaze palette is the result. These soap dishes will fit right in with any kitchen or bathroom decor, and you can rest assured that they will help you get the most from your Land of Milk and Honey soap.

Schyler the Potter

I was born on the first day of spring.

Growing up in Niles, Michigan meant lots of fort building, ball playing, bike riding, and swimming. High school was a blur of highways and loading gear in and out of the trailer in the middle of the night after VFW Hall hardcore shows all around the country. College was when I discovered clay and the potter's wheel (thank you, Paul). After graduating from Western Michigan University with a BFA in ceramics in 2012, I moved farther north to Manistee, Michigan and started Daybreak Gallery & Studio. For about 5 years, I made pots every day at Daybreak. I got to know the people walking by on the sidewalk, and sometimes one of them would wander in and take something home with them. I became a real live potter in Manistee. I had complete control from start to finish, and the pots made a lot of progress in those years. Since spring 2018, I've been in Traverse City with a larger focus on studio time. It's a new seasonal rhythm, but one that suits me just fine.
