West Works support the general sustainability of A-Z West, including access to collective resources for the local community and help generate income for high desert artists, where employment and means of financial support are limited. West Works include A-Z Containers, handmade ceramic bowls used for all eating and drinking functions at A-Z West, and A-Z Covers, textiles woven in the A-Z West weaving studio that serve as anything from cloak to bed cover to tablecloth.

A-Z Containers are handmade ceramic bowls that serve all eating and drinking functions. Andrea Zittel began using containers in daily life in the early 1990s and they continue to serve as the sole dinnerware at A-Z West. Large bowls are perfect for main meals, medium bowls for cereals, sides, or tea, and small bowls are just right for a cocktail.

Produced at the A-Z West studio in Joshua Tree, California under the auspices of West Works, this artwork is an unlimited edition that supports A-Z West, a testing grounds for experimental art and prototypes for living.
