Rowena Brown

Rowena’s current range of small ceramic houses are hand carved from slabs of black clay, she has developed an approach to decoration and firing that results in surfaces that show a real and implied history and are intended to evoke reminiscence and contemplation.

After studying fashion design at St Martin’s School of Art and a first career as a fashion designer, Rowena returned to her first love of ceramic sculpture and took an MA in Fine Art. She recently moved to Iona, in the Hebrides where she has built a house and studio. The croft houses on Iona serve as inspiration for her work, which is exhibited across the UK and aboard.
