Join us for the British Ceramics Biennial 2023
From 23 September to 5 November, the British Ceramics Biennial returns to Stoke-on-Trent for six weeks of exhibitions, installations and events shown against the backdrop of the city’s industrial heritage. From spotlighting the UK’s leading ceramicists to introducing work by international artists and fresh new talent, the biennial is a celebration of the creative potential of clay for storytelling, playfulness, risk-taking and activism.
British Ceramics Biennial is proud to be an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation and is supported by the City of Stoke-on-Trent Council and Staffordshire University.
