Arkitypes by Susan Halls

Susan Halls’ ceramic ‘Sentinels’ are characterful individuals borne from a lifelong preoccupation with making and drawing animals.

For Award 2025, she will push them into a dynamic sculptural realm. Using each animal as a construction unit, Susan will build upwards in height and complexity, reaching a point where the sculptures become architectural, where legs and bodies become columns and arches.

Artist Talks

During the 2025 British Ceramic Biennial, you will have the chance to meet and hear from some of the talented artists exhibiting with us this year. The Artist Talks will provide a unique insight into the work and careers of some of the artists and the work they have created especially for the 2025 Biennial.

Each talk will be 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A. They will all take place at Spode Works. Ticket fees are pay-what-you-can.
