Dimensions: W-14cm x H-8cm
As all products are handmade sizes and colour may vary slightly.
Description:
This whitewashed carved bowl demonstrates perfectly how Robynn Storgaard's rejection of ornamentation emphasises the forms and materials of her ceramics. This bowl was thrown on the wheel and made using locally sourced Scandinavian clays, developed and refined in Robynn's studio. The bowl is very tactile, with interesting ridges that reveal the hand of the maker and display the artistic process. The smooth texture is due to its overall glazing with one of a number of glaze recipes that Robynn has acquired from mentors and friends and subsequently enhanced to suit her clay bodies and surface treatments.
Imperfections are embraced in Robynn's objects, which are made to become more beautiful, valuable and meaningful to the user over time and through use. This bowl is timeless and will be a wonderful addition to everyday life and all meals.
