Slab Bowls


These soup/cereal sized bows are about 8" in diameter and hold about two cups. The rim is free-form, but each bowl has a place from where you can drink. The bottom is textured and the wheel-thrown foot lends a refinement to the hand built form. The honey-gold glaze is sensitive to the texture and shows the dark and light combed slip in the inside of the bowls.

The first one I made just for me, just for fun. I had it at an art fair, eating my salad, when a patron said, "I want one like THAT!" and I've been producing the ever since. I still eat from my own every day; it's my favorite bowl.
