David Sowerby: Open Studio

David Sowerby opens the Artists’ Studio door and invites us to explore his practice and recent works made during Tetley’s Associate Artists’ Programme.

A showcase of Sowerby’s larger sculptural works will also be on display in the City Workshop room on Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7 April, from 10am to 6pm.

Tetley's Associate Artists' Programme (TAAP) is a year-long development opportunity for four artists living, working or based in Leeds.

About the artist

He graduated from Coventry University, studying BA Fine Art in 1995 and then an MA in Creative Curating at Goldsmiths College, London in 1998. He is an Artist Technician in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies.

His current practice is a contextually centred sculptural process that emphasises a sympathetic and responsive mode of making.
