The Leach Pottery is excited to present its first selling exhibition of 2024, 'Colour & Movement', which launched this month, just as the shoots of spring started to unfurl. The group show celebrates contemporary and emerging potters who work with colour, flowing decoration and lively movement. Expect pots with a sense of freedom and energy from Dylan Bowen, Heather Gibson, Dawn Hajittofi, Jennifer Hall and Tarragon Smith.
Dylan Bowen makes slip-decorated earthenware using both traditional and contemporary materials and techniques. Dylan works on a small but ever-mutating range of shapes, large platters, bowls and more sculptural forms. The clay can be thrown, cut, carved or hand-built; then slips are poured, dipped or brushed on. Marks are made quickly using trailers while the layers of slip are still wet.
