Have Your Pi and Eat It, Too

September 4, 2009 in Books,Eating,Fun stuff,The kitchen with 3 Comments

Throughout history, people have been obsessed with the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. In other words, Pi, which is the subject of David Blatner’s The Joy of Pi — a book I am currently devouring. And what better way to devour a book on Pi than with one’s very own Pi plate?

Pi plate

Ceramics guru Maria Neal has a knack for imbuing pottery pieces with a little quirky fun and this Pi plate certainly does not miss the mark. While there are other Pi plates out there, this one is by far the prettiest and most appealing to me, since the design is subtle enough that both math geeks and non math geeks can enjoy it.

UPDATE: The artist’s web site can be found here!

    The idea is awesome, but as a dished plate it’s not really appropriate to actually *eat pie* out of which would always subtly annoy me. That being said I still really like the look of it. I could not find Maria Neal via a google search, where would one look to find out more about her work?

    Unfortunately I found out about her via Facebook, and all my attempts to get some more info outside of that insular world failed. Friend her?
