Internationally renowned, Dylan Bowen trained with his father, Clive at Shebbear Pottery before studying at Camberwell School of Art. His wheel-thrown, hand-built works are a balance between traditional painting and ceramics. Renowned for his loosely thrown, abstract pieces, he works on a small but ever mutating range of shapes, attempting to capture some of the action and spontaneity of his making processes. He pours, trails and brushes slip onto his pieces with a vigour that challenges the careful traditions of English slipware and makes them entirely his own.
