About

Grounded Ceramics specializes in earthy, abstract hand-painted ceramic jewelry and small wares. Meghan Fritz, founder and artist, thoughtfully designs and creates each piece from her home studio using high quality, sustainable materials. Her work is inspired both by simple forms in nature and artwork that surrounds her as an educator at the Art Institute of Chicago and expresses individuality and simple, modern beauty.

The name grounded ceramics is relevant to numerous aspects of my clay practice. From the clay being sourced from the ground to the serene balance found at the center of the potter's wheel, feeling grounded remains central to my practice. I hope to translate this idea into my pieces by providing an opportunity for pause while bringing a dose of beauty, peace and permanence into your life.

All of my pieces, including childrens' tableware, are intended to be used and loved. Almost all pieces are dishwasher-and microwave-safe (although hand-wash is recommended) and will hopefully last forever.
