Studio Raku Bowl with Matching Hand-Thrown Brushes (Signed & Dated 2002)

The raku-fired bowl and its matching ceramic-handled brushes were created together by a working ceramic artist Glenn Grishkoff and have remained intact as a functional ensemble. The bowl features classic raku crackle, carbon trapping, and expressive brush-applied decoration. It is signed and dated 2002, firmly placing it within the early 21st-century American studio pottery tradition.
 
The accompanying brushes were hand-thrown from related clay bodies and fired using complementary techniques. Each retains its natural hair bristles and shows authentic studio wear consistent with thoughtful, purposeful use. Variations in surface, glaze, and texture are intentional and reflective of the raku process.
 
This is not decorative reproduction work. It is studio practice made visible—tools and vessel conceived together, used together, and now offered together.

Artist Bio: Glenn Grishkoff
 
Glenn Grishkoff is an American ceramic artist and brushmaker based in California, known for integrating studio pottery, mark-making, and tool-making into a single artistic practice. Working primarily in stoneware and raku-fired clay, Grishkoff creates both vessels and artist tools—objects intended to be used, handled, and understood through physical engagement.
 
His work reflects deep influence from East Asian calligraphy traditions, Japanese raku processes, and the philosophy that tools themselves can embody artistic intention. Rather than separating object from action, Grishkoff’s practice emphasizes the relationship between maker, material, and mark. He has exhibited widely, taught workshops, and is recognized for elevating functional objects—particularly brushes—into expressive studio works.
 
Grishkoff is a living, actively documented artist whose work bridges ceramics, performance, and drawing.
