Stoke-on-Trent is one of a network of European Ceramic Cities, and this conference has been planned to give voice to those working with ceramics in the public realm. Speakers include the architect Ted Cullinan, Samantha Hardingham talking about Cedric Price, Francoise Schein from the Paris-based Association Inscrire, Lara Taves from Atelier Azulejaria, Rio de Janeiro, and exhibiting artists Stephen Dixon, Gwen Heeney and Vicky Shaw.

The second day will be based on tours of the Biennial exhibitions and associated events, as well as having an opportunity to experience the City’s heritage and potential. Lunch will be at Emma Bridgewater Pottery.

The conference themes will be further developed in the associated issue of the Art & Architecture Journal, published in September.
