Introduction

 

            


            
Ron Rowe (1944 - ) born in Broken Hill,
            NSW. 

            
I trained as an art teacher at
            the South Australian School of Art from 1962-64 and then spent
            three years developing a specialisation in ceramics inder lecturer
            Ben Kypradikis before teaching in secondary schools.

            
I attended 3 years of night classes
            under Bill Gregory, who taught a non-functional, conceptual approach
            to ceramics that I found appealing. I started to throw and assemble
            geometric forms into complex sculptures and had my first one-man
            show at Bonython Galleries at North Adelaide

            
After 3 years of teaching I resigned
            and travelled overseas. I got teaching jobs and worked as a studio
            potter in London for two years, visiting Europe, North Africa,
            and Scandinavia. I had a lecturing position in ceramics and sculpture
            in New York at Columbia University Teacher College for a year.
            On my return to Australia in 1971 I started lecturing in sculpture
            at the Torrens CAE School of Art and later at the South Australian
            Schhol of Art in Stanley Street , North Adelaide and later at
            the School of Art at Underdale and then UNISA at City West Campus.

            
I put together a book of 21 Australian
            artists that worked with clay an other media called 'Modern
            Australian Sculpture: Multi-Media with Clay', published by Rigby
            in 1977. 

            
Author Noris Ioannou in his
            book 'Ceramics in South Australia 1836-1986' wrote ...'his role
            in the development of sculptural ceramics in South Australia
            is described by making sculptures in a variety of media, with
            examples of his work illustrated on his website'.
