Bowbeer Designs
Illustrator & Ceramicist
Caitlin Bowbeer is an illustrator and self-taught potter from the West Coast of Scotland who is currently working from her studio in Meadowbank, Edinburgh. With a background in Illustration and Graphic Design, she combines these practices to create contemporary functional pieces that are minimal, and often with characterful forms or illustrative elements. Although she began with wheel-thrown forms at the beginning of her ceramic career, the lockdown in 2020 led her to begin a slower way of working, creating designs for larger, hand-built pieces whilst access to her studio and wheel were restricted. Since then, Caitlin’s most recent works focus on experimentations with many different types of clays and neutral tones glazes, creating earth-tone collections that focus on form and function and use both hand building and wheel-throwing processes.
