Penny Fowler is a London based potter whose work reflects 21st century living in the capital. Using porcelain and bone china clays, her work is characterised by clean, precise lines and forms using a strong palette.
Kay Aplin graduated in 1995 from Chelsea College of Art, specialising in ceramics and glass. Since then, Kay has had a successful career as an architectural ceramist, producing a distinct range of site-specific commissions for the public realm around the UK and internationally.
From an early age Penny enjoyed playing with clay at home as her mother had a small pottery studio. However, it was not until she lived in Japan in her twenties that she became more seriously interested in making pots.
Liz studied Fine Art Sculpture at Kent Institute of Art and Design, although her love of working in three dimensions began at an early age. After teaching for several years, she attended a range of short courses at The Ceramics Studio. In 2016 she made the decision to focus her career on ceramics and set up her studio in Kent, where she now produces her work.
Liz creates wheel-thrown porcelain pieces that are both functional and sculptural. Modern, clean, crisp lines, alongside the purity of the porcelain, create a contrast for the strong inlaid lines that cut through the surfaces. The wheel enables her to experiment with variations of form that she wants the viewer to be drawn to.
