"DISHINIT". An art project by Pamela Wells. 404 bowls with 101 people in Stoke-on-Trent. An exhibition + A series of hosted meals to give away the bowls + A website.

Pamela worked with individuals in Stoke-on-Trent to design a set of 4 bowls for/with each participant, based on drawings and photos from the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery’s collection of Staffordshire tableware. Pamela has made the bowls (white clay, wheel thrown, decorated with underglazes and ceramic pencils).

Together, the bowls were exhibited in October-November 2007 at the New Vic Theatre.
Now, the sets of bowls are being returned to participants who will host a meal with 3 people they don't live with. The bowls will be used during the meal, after which participants and their guests each keep one bowl. Documentation from the meals and photos of the bowls will go onto this website.
