Dale Bowen

Dale Bowen was born Staffordshire 1963, where he still lives. Always interested in painting from an early age he went on to study art at Newcastle-under-Lyme college. He is a master potter has worked in the industry for over 20 years, firstly for Coal port China and then for Wedgwood for the last 15 years. Working for Wedgewood in the Prestige Department, he created many one-off pieces for the collectors’ market and commissions. Creativity comes from a number of different sources, observation or even conversation, inspiration always surprises me in the ever unusual ways it catches me. Although working in the pottery industry for so long and being creative with clay, it is always the joy of painting which is Ben's first love and keeps him returning to canvas.
