Blue Wonky Bowl
Glass 6.5 x 4.25 x 2.5
$225
We are thrilled to unveil Bob’s newest series: the ‘Wonky’ bowls! These striking pieces mark a bold departure from traditional forms. In this new body of work, Bob pushes the boundaries of glass artistry, embracing experimentation to create bowls that are beautifully irregular, full of movement, and finished with delicately stretched rims.
Marigold Wonky Bowl

Bob’s fascination with textures developed during his working career as an exploration geologist. Observing and interpreting subtle textures in rocks while on the job evolved into seeing textures as a familiar but important part of our everyday visual landscape.

Cinnamon Swirls
Brazilian Soapstone, Indian Soapstone (base) 7 x 4.5 x 6
$400
Vance likes to let the stone guide him, allowing it to reveal what it wants to become. He finds the result is more alive than if he forced his own design. This approach allows the natural colours and patterns of the stone to emerge in ways that couldn’t be planned better. While he takes his work seriously, he doesn’t take himself too seriously, which adds a light playfulness to much of his art!
