Process
Dylan firstly handbuilds a group of plates and then applies his expressive slip trailing across them in continuous fluid motions. The result is a free-flowing, linear pattern that visually connects each plate together.




Renowned for his loosely thrown monochromatic work, Dylan Bowen is a well-established slipware potter. Having trained at the Shebbear Pottery in north Devon and Camberwell School of Art in London, Dylan and his partner Jane Bowen, who is also a potter, now work from their studio in Oxford. For Dylan, the making and decorating process blend together so that the spontaneity and energy invested in the creative process are embodied in the finished piece.
