Textured Pinched Bowl

This is a one of a kind, hand built ceramic bowl (we're using the term bowl loosely here) glazed with a satin finish, mottled surface reflective of the form itself.

Handmade in Richmond VA by Christine Orr. Working in clay, weaving, basketry, paper-making and poetry, her practice critically navigates how humans have co-evolved with objects. Orr investigates material culture’s role in our understanding of domestic and utilitarian items. 

This research connects objects and what they are made from as well as their metaphorical and symbolic potential. Orr received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2015. She completed her Master of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in the Craft/Material Studies Department in 2021.
