British Ceramics Biennial (BCB) is an arts organisation based in Stoke-on-Trent with a vision of making change through clay.
BCB develops, sustains and expands innovative ceramics practice and improves lives together with artists and creative communities. This is done by delivering an engaging year-round programme of artist commissions, learning and community projects. All of which feed into a contemporary ceramics biennial that takes place in Stoke-on-Trent.
British Ceramics Biennial is proud to be an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation and has support from Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the University of Staffordshire.
Award is the Biennial’s headline exhibition featuring ten of the UK’s leading contemporary artists who have created new work for the British Ceramics Biennial…
Fresh 2025 brings critical attention to artists from all over the UK and Ireland at a pivotal moment in their careers.
Susan Hall’s ceramic ‘Sentinels’ are characterful individuals that are the result of her previous studio practice and lifelong preoccupation with making and drawing animals. For Award 2025, she will push them further into a more dynamic sculptural realm.
With a background in archaeology and a PhD in ceramics, Dr Alison Rees tells abstract stories of person and place. For Award 2025, Alison will walk Britain’s most substantial green belt, the LOOP, and explore how layers of history, geology and activity accumulate over time to form a landscape.
Jo Taylor’s recent works take inspiration from the Rococo period. She distils the essence of Rococo onto large-scale sculptural vessels.
