Bowen & Bowen

Sat 22 Oct 10:30-18:00 and Sun 23 Oct 12:00-17:00 at Contemporary Ceramics Centre

Bowen & Bowen brings together a father and son who work separately and independently from one another, yet share a common point of reference. Both enjoy the excitement of taking their work in a new direction, and here the careful traditions of English Slipware are unseated and then thoroughly subverted through work by two members of the same family.

Bowen & Bowen is on show alongside the work of over one hundred makers within the Contemporary Ceramics Centre. Specializing exclusively in British Studio Ceramics, the gallery presents a continually changing display of individually handmade ceramic objects.

hans tan studio: spotted nonya for FARM

“singaporean design studio hans tan studio has developed ‘spotted nonya’, an industrial re-interpretation of the nonya porcelain vessels which are traditional domestic wares native to chinese-peranakans in south asia. produced in collaboration with singaporean creative agency FARM, this contemporary take on the traditional objects transforms the original multicolored surface treatment into a new dotted pattern. the limited edition series of vessels utilizes the resist-dyeing technique that is often applied to dye fabric patterns. hans tan masks the porcelain pieces with the new dotted motif, which is then sandblasted, so that the areas protected are preserved, while the original glazed sections of the exposed areas are erased, revealing the white porcelain which lies beneath.”
