This year I have another collaborative piece in the Empty Bowls McKinney auction. This bowl was made by me and beautifully painted by my incredibly talented teacher, Noriko Tanigawa.
Each year, I try to create a form that can serve as a canvas for her brilliance—and every time, she exceeds anything I imagined. She doesn’t just paint on the bowl; she thoughtfully responds to its form, letting the piece guide her design.
It’s always amazing to see my functional work transformed into something truly special. I’m honored to collaborate with her and share this piece for a good cause.
Bowl is thrown with Minnesota Clay USA Mb6
