About the Item

Small round studio ceramic bowl by ceramicist, Deanna Nichols (b. 1942-2017, Missouri). Holding a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute (1965) and an MFA form Claremont Graduate University in California (1967), Nichols was educated in painting and complex pottery making techniques at an academic level and later served as an educator at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA, and The Chrysler Museum School in Norfolk, VA. The second floor of the new student center at Kansas City Art Institute is named for Nichols (see image). This studio piece from Nichols' early, post-graduate era (late 1960s) features an attractive ochre with red and brown accents and a mottled white matte glazed interior. Unsigned - from the family of Deanna Nichols' personal collection of her pieces. Other small examples of Nichols' work are photographed with this piece in the last image. From the artist: "I fell under the spell of the wheel, loving the physical beauty of the moves required to form clay and the sense of peace that came from throwing. Function has always been the thing that made it work for me. That and the people who take the pieces into their lives and make it all relevant. Should this lump of clay become a vessel and Should it dry without crack, Fire without flaw and Serve without breaking, Then may it claim For its maker A tiny bit of immortality." - Deanna Nichols, 2008 H: 3" x Diameter: 6.5"
