LAURENCE McGOWAN
Born in Salisbury in 1942, Laurence McGowan
established his own workshop in 1979, having spent several years working with
Alan Caiger-Smith at Aldermaston Pottery.
Trained in the traditional majolica technique
of pottery painting, McGowan now applies this knowledge to enhance his thrown
stoneware forms with ever-changing brushwork patterns distilled from plant and
animal forms. Whilst in no way imitative, these often
contain echoes of his interest in the decorative arts of the Middle East and
their assimilation into the contemporary vocabulary through
the Arts and Crafts movement. Some pots are also inscribed, exploring the
extra dimension calligraphy can give to a piece.
