Allan Bauer’s granite bowls are currently on display in the showcases at Dalgas Have.
In 2014, he began working with granite, primarily shaping it into bowls and platters. All his work is done using an angle grinder, relying on his instinct rather than precise measurements. As a result, no two bowls are identical. The process is noisy, dusty, and time-consuming.
He finds immense satisfaction in witnessing the transformation of raw, unprocessed granite into polished elegance. His goal is to cut the bowls so thin that they weigh the same as a glass or ceramic bowl. Some of these bowls even appear transparent in sunlight.
