Description: The bowl features a black spiral design - shadow effect in a mahogany ground created by combination of black brown and copper tones.

About the artist: Mike Kurz has held many different jobs in his life, including stints as a ceramicist, a teacher, a carpenter and a small business owner.
Specific to Kurz creation of ceramics, he grew up in Chicago, then went on to study ceramics and earn an undergraduate degree from the University of Puget Sound in 1991 and an M.F.A. from the University of Montana in 1998.
