ANDREA ZITTEL

The ceramic bowls A-Z Containers—varying in textures, shapes, and glaze patterns—fulfil all eating and drinking purposes: large bowls for meals, medium bowls for sides or cereal, small bowls for beverages. Zittel has been using A-Z Containers in her daily life since the early 1990s and they continue to serve as the sole dinnerware used at A-Z West. The textiles A-Z West Panels are hand-woven by the community of artists who take part in the A-Z West weaving studio. Each piece is unique, adhering to certain guidelines set by Zittel which are then interpreted by the individual weavers. All income generated through the sales of A-Z West Works funds the studio’s general sustainability and supports the artists local to the desert.
