About Andrew Pearce
Andrew Pearce spent a decade working for his father, Simon Pearce, in his Vermont-based glass-blowing business. From a young age, Andrew had a deep desire to create a business of his own and eventually focused on wood. He set out to launch a wooden bowl company and quickly learned that finding even the machinery to turn wood bowls was close to non-existent. “There wasn’t an industry at that time, so I had to fabricate the wood turning equipment before I could even start the process of turning wood bowls. Once I built the equipment, I then began the process of learning how to hand turn wood. The initial few years were full of trial and error until I was able to turn our wooden bowls in a manner that I knew would result in elegant yet functional designs,” Pearce said.
Environmentally Friendly
Since its inception, Andrew Pearce Bowls has been working with loggers across Vermont, Pennsylvania and New York who understand and respect best practices in the logging industry. The company has always and will remain committed to planting a tree for every tree cut down to support the craft of hand-turning wooden bowls and cutting boards. Andrew Pearce also served on the board of the Vermont Wood Works Council. “There is a science and a cycle to cutting trees and it matters to me because I care about climate change,” Pearce noted. “Everything we do has an impact but having the least impact and doing things the best way we can matters,” he added.
Andrew Pearce Bowls is environmentally conscious in its approach to every facet of the business, including:
- Planting one tree for every tree used
- Coring multiple bowls in a nesting pattern to be efficient with each block of wood
- Repurposing sawdust and shavings for local farmers
- Running the facility on solar and hydro energy as much as possible; and
- Exclusively using recycled and renewable packing materials for shipping products to customers.
Special 10-Year Anniversary Event
