About Rob

Rob Towler is a potter whose work seeks to explore and innovate established making techniques in the British slipware tradition, through the capturing of a variety of patterns drawn in liquid clay.

Using his experience of urban farming as a point of inspiration, especially the predictable yet uncertain nature of the seasons that exist when working on and with the land, embracing variation in the surface decoration of his work.  

Rob’s willingness to create access into ceramics through the sharing of knowledge and making techniques has led him to teaching at ceramic studios such as The Kiln Rooms and now working as the studio manager of Clay@theFold in Bransford, Worcester.

Rob graduated with a first class honours degree in Ceramic Design from central Saint Martins.
