Get A Grip Mixing Bowl

“Each pot requires the same care and attention, whether you're making one or a hundred...and I try to be conscious that this pot's going to be part of someone's life.”

"There's a fine line between a rut and a groove," potter Brian Kunkelman likes to say. This idea reflects the balance required to hand-throw each design with the mix of consistency and variation that makes every piece one-of-a-kind. Brian goes with the flow—from the water outside his studio window to the music playing near his potter's wheel, to the meditative rhythm of working with clay. Using little more than his hands and his trusty powered foot wheel, he shapes stoneware into clever bowls that blend organic elegance with everyday utility.
