Penny Fowler was educated at the Central School of Art in London and then continued to achieve a postgraduate Diploma in Ceramics at Goldsmiths College.

She is a professional member of the Craft Potters Association and was a founder member of Broadway Ceramics Gallery in Hackney.

Penny has also made various international commissions for both public and private venues.

The inspiration for her work is drawn from life: people, architectural features, found objects and natural forms. The work arises from abstracting, developing and combining different aspects of the natural and man-made world.

Her work is beautifully composed using bone china and porcelain clays. combining layering, inlay and carving techniques.. She creates plaster moulds within which her forms are cast. The casting enables Penny to make very fine individual pieces. The forms are then hand-carved through the layers of colour and finely sanded to achieve an exquisite natural and smooth 'pebble' like quality.

The primary aim of this delicate work is to explore the subtlety of the hollow form. Penny creates variable areas of translucency and carves the forms with acute detail to light and shade making them as thin as possible. She occassionally uses the addition of colour to create opaque areas paying great attention to the intimate link between form and decoration.
