Michael Rowe

A leading maker and influential teacher for nearly 30 years, Michael Rowe (b.1948) is now regarded as one of the most significant figures of contemporary applied art in Britain.

Rowe is an artist and designer in metal whose work has extended the boundaries of traditional silversmithing. His particular focus has been container and vessel forms, treated not only as geometrical structures but also as carriers of meaning, investigating the colouring and patination of metals.
