# Art Therapy for Hairless Men Bonding with Personalized 'Bald Bowls' By Tinkalicious | Published 2008-12-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bald-bowls-for-bonding References: [streetanatomy](http://www.streetanatomy.com) & [coroflot](http://coroflot.com/public/individual_work.asp?individual_id=227209&sort_by=1&) Men who are bald apparently have support groups. A common practice at these meetings is participation in various forms of [art therapy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-arts-salon). Australian artist Ben Landau came up with this interesting design project aptly called "Bald Bowls." The bald men cast each other's heads in plaster and then create bowls from the casts. It is hoped that these hair-free men will bond by creating something together. What's more, having a useful and unique artifact to commemorate the bonding experience is considered to be cathartic and thus helps the baldies accept their hair-free heads. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Art Therapy for Bald Men:** Exploring the power of art therapy to promote bonding and acceptance among hairless men. - **Personalized Commemorative Artifacts:** Creating unique and meaningful objects to remember positive experiences and enhance emotional wellbeing. - **Intersection of Art and Wellness:** Recognizing the potential of art to support mental and emotional health in a variety of settings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Mental Health:** Using art therapy to support emotional wellbeing and healing in the mental health industry. - **Personalized Products:** Creating personalized items as tangible reminders of meaningful experiences in the gift and novelty industry. - **Art Education:** Incorporating art therapy practices and principles into art education programs in the education and training industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Balding-Friendly Skincare Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bld-bro-night.md) - [Empathetic Medical Headgear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lily-device.md) - [Anthropomorphic Hair Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-ballad.md) - [Human Hair-Made Prosthetic Nipples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prosthetic-nipples.md) - [Anti-Hair Loss Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athena-helmet.md) - [Kiln-Free Pottery Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpd-pottery-kit.md) - [Low-Level Laser Therapy Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowlevel-laser-therapy.md) - [Ultra-Fast Hair Shaving Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groomie-baldiepro-head-shaver.md) - [Connective Men's Wellness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/find-a-mens-group.md)
