About Fresh

The Fresh exhibition celebrates and promotes emerging talent in contemporary ceramics in the UK and Ireland. It explores the diverse ideas and trends in clay and ceramics practice. Shown as part of the 2025 British Ceramics Biennial in Stoke-on-Trent, Fresh provides a unique platform for early-career artists to inspire and challenge as part of the UK’s largest contemporary ceramics event. It will bring opportunities for networking and benefits from exhibiting alongside established artists.

Fresh is looking for artists at a launch moment in their practice. This exhibition platforms emerging talent, representing artists from a variety of backgrounds. From self-taught artists to recent graduates and community workshop makers, Fresh celebrates artistic discovery and champions the courage of new beginnings.
