Product Sizes
Marianne uses hardwood bowls lathed from Beech and Maple blocks, painted with water-based acrylic paints and sealed with multiple layers of water-based clear polyurethane which is safe for cold foods. The general sizes available are 8″, 10″, 12″, 15″ and 17″ outside diameter. Bowls are natural products, not identical and may not be the exact size, perfectly round or without knots or grain features.
Bowls should not be placed in a microwave or dishwasher, and should be gently cleaned with soap and water and dried immediately. With normal care, bowls in daily use hold vivid color for well over 25 years.
Bowl Prices
Prices depend upon the size of the bowl and the complexity of the art. An 8″ bowl is $85 and a complex 17″ bowl with the art wrapping around to the back of the bowl would range from $350 to $450. Packing and shipping is available at a nominal cost. For an exact quote call Marianne.
You can view and select Marianne’s bowls on Sanibel, exclusively at the Tower Gallery, 751 Tarpon Bay Road and you can order directly from the artist. Marianne encourages custom orders and gift sets. Call to discuss your ideas and for a quote.
About Prints
Marianne makes prints with 2 different methods. For the Wood Block Print method a board is carved with the subject, paint is applied to the board and transferred to paper or card stock. These are called White Line Block Prints as the carved lines do not transfer paint. These are Marianne’s original designs, completed with your choice of size, colors and paper – each one is unique signed original art.
Marianne’s newest effort, Pressed Botanical Prints are created from actual flowers, picked at the height of color, carefully pressed in custom equipment to preserve color and arranged. The arrangements are reproduced in any desired size on fine art paper and framed if desired. Call Marianne for availability and prices.
