About MeThis tall store jar and cover are made from Fremington clay, a local clay from which Clive Bowen makes most of his work.
Both pieces are thrown on a wheel, wood-fired and then decorated in the tradition of English slipware using a palette of mustard yellow and rust brown glazes.
The jar is decorated with an abstract pattern around the body and combed waved banding around the foot.
Bowen built his own wood-fired kilns for the production of domestic earthenwares at his North Devon pottery. He makes a wide selection of useful pieces for the preparation, cooking and serving of food ranging from giant store jars to everyday pots and dishes.



More About Me
Bowen's highly regarded earthenware pots are fired at 1060 degrees centigrade. Firing takes 24 hours and the kiln is then sealed for a five-day cooling period.
