bowls

Bowls are so practical. You can eat almost anything out of a bowl. I learned we only need to eat the amount of food that fits in a bowl that fits in our own two-cupped-together hands. These are just some of the bowls I have made, representing variety and playfulness.

Boob Bowl (fits nicely in your hand while you eat out of it while watching TV).

This bowl is called Stand Up after a book I wrote using my partner's, Phil's, photos. It is about what we can learn from trees for our work as activists.

The large serving bowl above was purposed as a gift from Five Crows in 2021. The woman who got it as a gift liked it so much, she commissioned me to make another for a couple's wedding present, having me add words/ideas that they value. She gifted it to them holding a fresh farro salad.

Color combination inspired by student Rebecca doing it first: "Fiar" and 28. See sets for more.

Part of my "craftivism" these say: liberty, equity, equality (2021)

"Black" in the common vernacular usually is something negative.

"In the black" is a rare positive term. (2021)

I got a custom order to the make the bowls above, as a set to match other dishes this person has. This order inspired me to try out some other (more fun for me) ways to glaze them, and did the ones below. (2021)

That order ^ reminded me I like that size and shape of a bowl, so I wanted to make more to sell and use myself. The ones below have a design on them that I made that I call "deb's hug" representing my values: equity, equality, liberation, solidarity, nature, and community building efforts. (2021)
