Balancing a Blessing Bowl




I am a pinch potter and like to pinch my bowls with rounded bottoms so they will roll back to center, symbolizing balance. They were inspired by the concept of the Buddhist begging bowl, which represents that you have received everything you need at the end of the day. In other words, abundance. My contemporaries dislike the "negative" connotation of begging, so I've renamed them blessing bowls. Today, I finally got a video of one rolling around. The bowl even has a nice ringing sound.


Round and round and round she goes....
