Jeff Goodman finds his way
You could say that the Compass bowl helped Jeff Goodman to find his
way. By producing the bowls intensively for months at a time and then
selling them in high-end stores in New York and Toronto, Goodman was
able to generate enough revenue to open his own private glass studio
in 1994.
Over 2000 of the depressed cast
bowls have been made. Approximately 800 free form
blown glass versions have also been created in a variety of colours,
but they are more expensive because they require more work. Jeff
Goodman blows each bowl himself.
North East South West
Goodman collaborated with his wife, graphic designer Mercedes Rothwell,
to create the four points of the "compass" which are sandblasted
on
the rim of the bowl. |
