Andrew’s wheel-thrown bowls carry his fingerprints in some of his "simplest forms"...
...which are still far from usual or boring.
Softer lines, fluid walls, and surfaces that he loves to express most easily traceable in his sculptural work but also really shines throigh in the color of these wheel thrown bowls.
They aren’t just one color but whole landscapes. These bowls aren’t about tradition for tradition’s sake — they’re about how Andrew sees clay.
Some show his love for cobalt, dripping deep blues into greens and browns, pooling heavy at the breaks like ink running across paper.
Others glow from his family’s West Virginian clay, iron-rich burgundy shifting darker in the flame, flashes of ember where a Shino glaze catches.
A few lean quieterw with matte charcoals, mossy greens, or soda-kissed surfaces that turn olive and gold when you spin them in the light.
Together they’re stylistically his,
functional enough to whisk in every day,
but layered enough that you’ll turn them over ten times and keep finding new details.
If Andrew's sculptural matcha bowls are pushing boundaries, these are his daily rhythm — grounded, usable, and still full of depth.
