Synopsis
Five hundred inspiring variations on the simple, functional bowl will fire any potter's imagination. Displayed on each page are bowls that reinvent and reinterpret the form, and use techniques from across the globe and through the centuries. More importantly, every piece, such as Kate Maury's wheel-thrown porcelain, Stephen F. Fabrico's slab-built bowl with handles, and Ruchika Madan's stoneware Fruit Bowl, testifies to the artist's boundless inventiveness. Captions give each bowl's size, with details on its material and glazes.

October 15, 2008: Lark has done it again with this addition to their 500-series. The humble bowl, arguably the simplest of wheel-thrown forms, becomes sculpture, canvas, art. Most clay types - earthenware, stoneware, porcelain - are covered, as are most firing methods - oxidation, reduction, wood, soda. The decorative applications are as varied as the 500 bowls. Inspiration for every kind of potter & clay artist.
