Small Sgraffito Ceramic Prep Bowl Set
These sweet little earthenware clay prep bowls measure 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch deep. They are perfect for so many things like tapas bowls, sauces, nuts, candies or even small soaps and jewelry. Jo made these without the benefit of a wheel, so their slight imperfections make them truly one of a kind pieces. She has sgraffito'd, carved into the clay, a floral design in to the bottom of each bowl.
Lead free pale green and black underglaze, and lead free clear overglaze was used to finish the bowls making them food safe.

Three Graces Ceramic Cameo Adjustable Rings
We have just added the "Three Graces" ceramic cameo rings above to our Etsy shop. We have been collecting vintage and antique cameos for some time and have made some stunning molds from them to use in our "Good Dirt Jewelry" earthenware clay jewelry collection.
White earthenware clay and various glazes were used to create these beautiful "Three Graces" ceramic cameo rings. The ceramic cameos have been set into gorgeous adjustable gold plated rings.

Ambrosia Maple Support Spinning Bowls
Our originally designed support spinning bowls combine the efficiency of a ceramic surface with the stability of a wide beautiful wooden base. The ceramic insert measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter, and the gorgeous twice turned ambrosia maple base is 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches in height. Cork has been added to the bottom of this bowl to keep the wood from scratching other hard surfaces.
**What is twice turned wood?**
Some of the woods that Dave uses, such as this ambrosia maple, can only be found green or "wet". Green or "wet" wood has to be dried before it is used, otherwise the finished project would warp, crack or check. Since Dave doesn't have a wood kiln to dry these woods, he cuts the wood to size and turns it once to get the desired shape. He then sets it aside for months to allow the moisture to escape. Once he has determined that all of the moisture is gone, he then turns the piece again which results in the finished project.

Ceramic Art Nouveau Pendant with Shell
Jo bought the most beautiful antique Art Nouveau era pewter button a while back, and with that button she made the mold for this piece. The nearly 1 inch diameter earthenware ceramic pendant has been glazed a gorgeous baroque gold color. The multi-colored shell necklace measures 16 inches long, and has a barrel clasp closure. This is a perfect everyday piece, or could be dressed up by layering it with other longer necklaces. An additional photo can be seen here.
A gift box is included with every order from Grizzly Mountain Arts.
Ceramic Mayan Sun Pendant with Turquoise
Jo made this Mayan sun pendant from earthenware clay. It has been fired with a chili pepper red glaze. Each pendant comes out of the kiln with it's own unique color properties. The necklace measures 16 inches and has been beaded with turquoise and has a barrel clasp closure. This necklace is a perfect everyday piece, or could be dressed up by layering it with other longer necklaces. An additional photo can be seen here.
A gift box is included with every order from Grizzly Mountain Arts.

Large Birdseye Maple and Ceramic Support Spinning Bowl with Spindle Parking Port
Our originally designed support spinning bowl combines the efficiency of a ceramic surface with the stability of a wide beautiful wooden base. The beautiful blue ceramic insert measures 1 3/4 inches in diameter, and the gorgeous birdseye maple wood base is 3 3/4 inches in diameter. Cork has been added to the bottom of this bowl to keep the wood from scratching other hard surfaces.
**Please note, this larger bowl was crafted from the only bowl blank of this size that Dave had on hand, so no other bowls of this size will be made in the near future and is not available for custom orders.**

Hawaiian Koa and Ceramic Support Spinning Bowl
This beautiful support spinning bowl has been crafted from Hawaiian koa. The ceramic insert was glazed with "Blue Grotto". You can find this spindle bowl in our Etsy shop.
~More About Koa~
The Acacia koa tree, is a species of flowering tree in the pea family found mainly on the Hawaiian islands, where it is the second most common tree. Its name in the Hawaiian language means brave, bold, fearless, or warrior. Koa is one of the fastest growing Hawaiian trees capable of reaching 20-30 feet in five years and was used by the Hawaiian natives to make outrigger canoes and surfboards. Being a tonewood, koa is often used in the construction of ukuleles, acoustic guitars and Hawaiian steel guitars.
