DYLAN BOWEN: New Sculptural Slipware

Dylan Bowen’s expressionistic slip decorated sculptural vessel forms use both traditional and contemporary materials and techniques.  He works on a small but ever-changing range of thrown plates, carved forms and distorted jugs.  The coloured slips are applied by pouring, trailing and brushing.  Bowen’s work has its roots in traditional slipware but with many contemporary influences.  He aims to capture some of the dynamism and action of the making process in the finished work.  Dylan lives and works in Oxfordshire and is a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association.  He has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad.
