Donation by Andrew Young (G106)

Andrew Young continues to develop his own unique style as an artist and has donated one of his unique Flow Bowls.

Over time some ideas become irresistible to a creative person. 
Being from a long Mississippi tradition of having to make do with what
one has is a part of it too. The Flow Bowl Project grew out of
the necessity of finding a way to use obsolete inventory of clear tempered
commercial sheet glass. When tempered glass breaks it is
reduced to a pile of pieces the size of pea gravel.
The Flow Bowl is the outcome of a year of experimentation
of firing this in our kilns. Each flow bowl is one of a kind and captures the
spirit of times – making something
beautiful out of what one has been given.
