Edit ProfileCareer
Seeing his pots in groups - runs of splendid jugs, bowls, platters and press-moulded dishes - reveals Bowen"s ability to explore within the parameters of his signature forms." (David Whiting)
He then became the apprentice of Michael Leach, at Yelland Pottery where he came to love the rich Fremington clay and earthernware of Fishley. A further year at Brannam Pottery in Barnstable allowed him to develop his throwing skills and to gain the ability to make large pots. In 1971 Bowen purchased a small agricultural property at Shebbear in North Devon and established his pottery with large double-chambered woodfiring kilns.
Bowen still uses local Fremington clay and is internationally known and respected for his powerful yet intimate pieces.
Bowen exhibits widely in the United Kingdom throughout Europe, North America and Japan.
