This ceramic Whare bowl has been handmade by Adele and Richard who create ceramic works from their Auckland based studio, Borrowed Earth. 

Borrowed Earth started back in the '90s. Adele was between jobs when Mum taught her how to pot. Eventually Dad gave in and his garage became her studio. Then Richard came along. Back then he was a telecommunication technician and Adele was selling work at local markets, eventually Richard become the other half of Borrowed Earth.

Now well established with a range of designs, Adele and Richard take pride in creating new ways to share their unique view of the world, honouring their Māori, Pacific and English heritage. And believe that we can all make positive changes to the world by the choices we make everyday. “We are committed to bringing you handmade work with character that, over time, will become treasured family pieces.”
