Dennis Swartzlander is an artist who as a junior at Adrian High School became interested in ceramics. With the encouragement and help of his teacher, he went on to become an artist whose work is featured in 4 galleries, including Ann Arbor Art Center, and Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center. He now teaches at Siena Heights University as well as teaching adult community ceramic classes there.
You will notice that the three vases pictured have a glaze that contains unique crystals. This crystalline glaze has a glossy, iridescent, metallic sheen. It contains zinc oxide which causes crystals to seed (form) during the firing process in a special kiln built specifically for this type of glaze. The piece is fired at 2,300 degrees, then reduced to 1,900 degrees and held there anywhere between a few hours and up to ten. This holding state allows the crystals to grow. Donated by Chris Donahue.
Diane Deming’s photograph on canvas gives the appearance of a painting.

This one speaks for itself. Donated by Dotty Karkheck.

The Community Center has made it a mission to preserve Clark Lake’s past. Have you seen this video? It starts with Laurie LaZebnik describing the condition of the cottage as it once stood on Kentucky Point and what prompted the LaZebnik’s to give the house to the lake.
