Make Your Mark

Make Your Mark

A small bowl. A simple mark. A lasting memory of Block Island.

Choose a handmade Nod Bowl, shaped in OXUM’s Block Island studio and ready for its final touch. During this experience, you’ll complete the piece with a painted mark of your own, turning a handmade object into something personal.

A Nod Bowl is defined by a subtle shift in the form — a quiet gesture that gives the piece its character. Your mark continues that gesture. No two bowls will be alike. A simple touch changes the object, and the object becomes uniquely yours.

This experience is simple, relaxed, and made for sharing. Come with a partner, a friend, a loved one, or on your own, and mark a small moment in time.

Once finished, your bowl is ready to take home and use — for olives, nuts, sea salt, jewelry, keys, or whatever life places in it. Over time, it becomes more than a handmade object. It becomes a reminder of a moment, a place, and the people who were part of it.
