Rowena, daughter of fine artist Terence Gilbert, was creating art with felt-tip pens from a young age. She developed a love of ceramics while studying at Christ’s Hospital in Horsham. In her shared Brighton studio, Rowena, creates unique bowls, vases and lamp stands which are sold at leading galleries throughout the country. Her work fuses simplicity of line with muted colors and a range of surface textures. She uses metal tools to cut through the layers in a method following the principles of sgraffito ceramics before glazing and firing the final pieces.
