My newest favorites, earth bowls are inspired by seed pods and other forms in nature. Wood firing is the perfect match for these bowls, as the ridges are individually highlighted by ash and flame. Each turn of the bowl shows a different detail of wood firing.

The tools I use to make the texture on the outer part of the bowl are made from recycled disposables from my favorite coffee shops. These tools were featured in Seattle's Re-Store Recycled Art Show in 2005.

To purchase bowls for sale, give me a call or email, and we can talk. A variety of sizes and surfaces are available, from rough and crusty to smooth patterns. Enjoy!

....Lined with a shino glaze.

The flame was kind to this bowl, depositing the perfect amount of ash inside for a varigated natural glaze, and highlights that change with each turn of the bowl.

With ridges horizontal as well as vertical, this bowl is also shino glazed inside. The white marks on the rim are wadding marks, which are echoed on the base, as well.

Subtle flashing from Kevin Crowe's kiln acccents the depth of the grooves on this seed-like bowl. Shino liner glaze.

The liberal amount of melted ash from Kevin Crowe's kiln has begun to drip down the crevaces of this bowl, and the rim's gentle motion echoes the feeling.

Splashed by sesame seed ash drops, this bowl has a taller, natural rim, complete with a small dash of rice straw from Jody Johnstone's anagama.

The tenmoku inside and on the rim of this bowl was heavily dusted by ash, resulting in little golden crystal specks.

Glazed with a teadust tenmoku inside and on the rim.

Lots of ash accents, and hints of shell marks on the rim.

One side flashed, one side ashed, the highlights change as you turn this bowl around.
