Chloë Dowds is an artist based in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
She works primarily with porcelain on the wheel. Her range of contemporary porcelain tableware focuses on feminine and tactile forms. Her mugs are thrown finely enhancing the beautiful translucency of the porcelain. Touch is very important in the finished work and for this reason she polishes the base of each pot so that every surface of the piece is a pleasure to touch.
Chloë is also fascinated by colour interactions and is inspired by the colour theory of Josef Albers. She dyes porcelain by hand in her studio to make beautifully simple and elegant thrown vessels. These vessels are inlaid using coloured slip, turned and then polished.
Chloë has won numerous awards for her work and completed a number of international residencies as she continues to perfect her craft.
