Mike Scown Ribbed Bowl II
About the piece
Handmade functional bowl. Internally glazed with striking grey crackle finish.
11cm height by 15.5cm width
About the artist
Scown’s primary interest in ceramics has always been in the chemistry of the glazes and the transformative power of the firing process to turn raw materials dug from the ground into objects of function and beauty. Development and experimentation with ceramic materials has been central to his practice from the outset, explored initially through the immediacy of Raku firing, later through stoneware and porcelain tableware.
After participating in the Yorkshire Artspace Starter Studio Programme for Ceramics, now Clay Space, Scown worked at The Art House, from Pottery Technician to Manager roles, until going freelance in 2023. In 2022, Scown built two gas kilns for Yorkshire Artspace’s Kiln Yard, a facility that allows access to reduction firing through supported or independent firings.
Now, from Studio 1 at Persistence Works, Scown continues to produce tableware, exploring slip casting and sculptural techniques, and offering individual and group tuition in Raku firing, throwing, and ceramic materials.
