Sculpture Garden

Take a beautiful drive through the heart of Ann Arbor and head west, where you will find, tucked away on a scenic road, a secret sculpture garden. Internationally recognized ceramic artists Susan and John Stephenson spent over 60 years finding new ways to shape clay in their studio off Waters Road.

Nestled in the woods that became their playground is a lifetime of their creations. The garden features a selection of their work, curated into the landscape for the summer months. The garden includes several works being exhibited for the first time. From diverse metal and ceramic sculptures to gestural and colorful wall plates, the garden invites the curious and the creative to explore. Expect to be inspired!

Drop by for your own strolling tour or sign up below for a docent guided tour.

Fridays and Saturdays from 11 to 4pm or by appointment.

Please note: Parts of the sculpture garden have uneven and gently sloping terrain. Caution is advised. There is seating on the studio patio where tours begin.

The shared studio of two artists working in clay for over 60 years has been transformed into a backdrop to frame and display John and Susanne’s work. Come see the art, the tools that left marks, and the place where much of the work was created and fired.
