Turning of the Week for October 20, 2025

[Kevin Jesequel]

There have been numerous excellent works posted to the gallery recently. I thought I had my selection picked out on Saturday, but when I saw these Painted Salad Bowls by Kalia Kliban. I was immediately drawn to them. This morning I have found myself going back to them several times. The image of stacked bowls is quintessential to what we do, and I can’t help but find comfort in it. I love the textures Kalia used on these, and the bold colors remind me of vintage Fiestaware.

Great choice, Kevin, Congratulations Kalia!

I love Kalia's bowls, so thanks for choosing these for TOTW Kevin. Functional, durable and most importantly beautiful.

 

[Dean Center]

Well said, Kevin. Not exotic, no "how did she DO that", but tremendously appealing.

Great choice, Kevin. I'm a huge fan of Kalia's work. Functional, but also so appealing as folk art pieces. Congratulations, Kalia!
