New Virginia Dowe-Edwards Collection
We have a new collection of Virginia Dowe-Edwards raku-fired and hand painted ceramic dogs.
Devoted dog-owner Virginia Dowe Edwards creates charming dog sculptures from clay. Using roughly textured clay and smoke firing techniques, she creates dogs that are expressive and filled with movement and alive with detail – down to the floppy ears and paws complete with doggy toe-nails. They are not portraits or intended to be accurate likenesses of pets she has known but pets that we all recognise whether from childhood or in a current canine companion. The dogs Virginia makes are never static, she cleverly incorporates all sorts of doggy traits and mannerisms into her sculpting, such ear scratching, playful bowing, or a head cocked on one side, or paws folded over one another, things that we see our own pets doing.
