A thick, wet fog rolled in overnight, blanketing this coastal town in shades of gray. Susan Dwyer’s small papier-mâché bowls, made with recycled papers and lined with colorful rubber and gold leaf are the perfect companion as I wait for the fog to burn off and return my heart-healthy view of the sea.
I see these stacked in different arrangements as sculpture or attached to the wall in large groupings. . .what do you see?
“These papier-mâché bowls are lined with colorful aqua rubber inside and sealed with polyurethane on the outside, making them water resistant and durable. With a distinctive raw edge and unique mix of textures, they’re equally at home on the mantle and the tabletop.” Susan Dwyer
Papier-mâché bowls with gold leaf, 1.5″ – 3.5″ tall
“The hand gold leafed interior of these papier-mâché bowls make them almost glow. Despite their delicate form, they’re surprisingly durable. These look particularly beautiful in low light.”
Dwyer also has an etsy shop and a blog. Prefer it in ceramic? She has a collection of ceramic pieces as well.
what a poetic end delicate work!
Thank you.

Papier Mache has so many possibilities. In a recent class at Penland we combined it with polymer…interesting results.
