By Charlotte Gower; Artist & Designer

Charlotte Gower is a multidisciplinary artist based in Yorkshire, specializing in ceramics, pastel work, and textiles. Her artistic practice celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the emotional resonance of colour and texture. In her ceramics, Charlotte creates functional yet artistic pieces such as mugs, bowls, and sculptural vessels, distinguished by their organic forms, flowing glazes, and tactile finishes.
Her work with pastels brings life and movement to the human form, exploring themes of connection, resilience, and joy. Charlotte’s vibrant, gestural marks and expressive use of colour create compelling compositions that invite viewers to engage with the emotional depth of her subjects. Alongside this, her textile work involves creating large, detailed wall hangings, blending intricate patterns and bold designs to craft pieces that are both impactful and intimate.
Beyond her studio practice, Charlotte teaches life drawing classes, curates a small art gallery in Yorkshire, and works to foster creativity and collaboration within her community.

Current Project: Sparks of Joy, Out of the Darkness

Charlotte's current project, Sparks of Joy, Out of the Darkness, is an exploration of resilience and beauty in the face of life’s challenges. This body of work celebrates small, everyday joys through bold, colourful pastel drawings and richly glazed ceramic pieces. The series captures fleeting moments of light and vibrancy, offering a tactile and visual reminder of the power of finding joy even in the darkest times. Each piece is an invitation to reflect on the sparks of happiness that illuminate our lives and sustain us through adversity.
