Sessions Bowl

$65.00

Eastern red cedar is always striking, with the contrast between the red heartwood and the light sapwood. This bowl is even more eye-catching, with its unusual grain pattern that resembles a spiderweb radiating down from two sides. It would be a fantastic accent piece filled with a few pine cones or acorns, or it could be used to serve snacks, salad or fruit.

Top Diameter: 7-7/8”
Bottom Diameter: 3-1/8”
Height: 3-1/2”

Kate Sessions spent much of her childhood near the towering trees of northern California. In 1881, she was the first woman to graduate from the University of California with a science degree; shortly thereafter she moved to San Diego to start her horticultural career. She leased 30 acres of land in what is now Balboa Park in exchange for planting 100 trees a year in the barren area and 300 trees a year in the rest of San Diego. Her gardens and parks are still found throughout the city and she became known as the Mother of Balboa Park.
