Studio Turned Low Bowl or Plate by Bob Stocksdale

About the Item

Low bowl or plate by legendary craftsman Bob Stocksdale. Beautiful grain. Signed on the bottom. This was purchased from Pamela Weir-Quiton, who acquired it directly from Bob Stocksdale. The piece was turned from Purple Heart wood from Suriname. Stocksdale was one of the earliest members of ACCI - the Arts and Crafts Cooperative, Inc. on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, CA. Bob Stocksdale (1913 — January 6, 2003) was an American woodturner, known for his bowls formed from rare and exotic woods. His wife of more than 30 years, Kay Sekimachi, stated that, "His grandfather gave him a pocketknife, and he started to whittle. That's how it started." After the war, Stocksdale moved to Berkeley, California in 1946, one year after Gump's in San Francisco began showing his work. His first solo exhibition followed in 1958 at the Long Beach Museum of Art. He bought a Victorian duplex in South Berkeley, where he lived and worked for the rest of his life. He put together a shop of modest tools in his basement, and there turned out work for more than 50 years[2] that gradually earned him acclaim and fame as a woodturner. He was a friend, and sometime collaborator, of Sam Maloof.
