artist's story

Catherine Bowdler

Catherine grew up in Worcestershire and now lives in the Black Country. She studied at Bournville College of Art and has a degree in Printed Textiles from Loughborough College of Art and Design and a P.G.C.E in Art and Design.

With a background in printed textiles Catherine has an affinity with pattern, composition and colour. Catherine produces striking designs inspired by the natural world, in particular featuring some of her favourite British birds.

Catherine collects mid-century vintage fabrics, this period of design has long been a reference point, but over the last few years the balance and ingenuity of Japanese textiles has gripped Catherine’s imagination. These influences infuse a subtle flavour to the work. She uses a workshop in Digbeth near the famous Custard Factory and hand prints her work in her 1950s English Rose kitchen.

The Own Art Loan Scheme

The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.

You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.

You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
