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.
