£20.00Dylan Bowen Will be demonstrating building and decorating slipware pottery to SCG members and their guests on Sunday, 22 October 2017 at Denmead Community Centre, Hampshire PO7 6LU.
Dylan Bowen trained at Shebbear Pottery then Camber-well school of Art, graduating in 1991. He, in partnership with potter Jane Bowen, set up their present workshop in 2002. Dylan makes individual pieces in slip decorated earthen-ware, the work is wheel thrown and altered or handbuilt. Slips are poured, trailed or brushed on, mainly black and white slips with some green, it is then fired to around 1080 C in an electric kiln usually with a clear or honey glaze.
He is currently working on large platters, bottle shapes and taller forms, aiming to combine making and decorating methods to capture some of the spontaneity and energy of the creative process. He is a fellow of the Craft Potters Association.
