The design of these bespoke hand forged iron bowls was inspired by seashells and ammonites, whilst their
texture and surface finish were inspired by rock formations
of the Jurassic Coast.
The bowls were
forged from 6mm thick metal that was textured and shaped using repeated blows from specially made hammers. Each handmade bowl has a different interior and exterior finish,
and every bowl and texture is
utterly unique and individual. No two are, and can ever be, made the same. The bowls were burnished with a wire brush and given a protective coat of
Renaissance wax to
enhance and highlight the metal's rich and natural looking texture. The edges of the bowls have been satin
polished as an accent and to contrast with the darker finish of the
forged texture.
A selection of these bowls and others is available to purchase
from my partner's
Etsy shop;
SandpiperArtStudios.
