Ceramic Art London 2022

Tickets are on sale now for Europe's largest ceramics event, which returns this April following an enforced two-year break. Taking place over three days in the grand concourse of Central Saint Martins, Ceramic Art London will build on three years of expansion that have seen audiences triple, with every event sold out.

Featuring 92 leading makers from 11 different countries and with price points ranging between GBP 20 – GBP 5000, Ceramic Art London is the place to see and buy the best contemporary ceramics, from the functional and decorative to the abstract and architectural. 

"Patience and resilience is a prerequisite for life as a potter, but the pandemic has tested the best of us to the limit. Potters are used to isolation too. While we are well-practised at being holed up in the studio – exploring and developing new ideas and designs – the past two years have shown us that we cannot do what we do in a bubble. It has shown us that we need other people; people who offer critiques of our output, who appreciate and buy what we make and, crucially, it has shown us how much we gain as part of a supportive community of fellow makers. So, I am beyond thrilled that the return of this important and joyous convening means that we get to see each other once again." 
- Lara Scobie, Ceramic Artist and Chair of Ceramic Art London

Programmed by Central Saint Martins Lecturer Duncan Hooson, ClayTalks returns with a series of illuminating talks given by prestigious names from the ceramic world. Highlights this year include a keynote by design writer and director of the Zaha Hadid Foundation Paul Greenhalgh, who will address the space ceramics has historically occupied in the cultural and social scheme of things, meditating on what its role could and should be now.

This year, Ceramic Art London will also play host to On Air, a satellite exhibition and series of live events investigating the urgent topic of air pollution. Situated at The Crossing in Central Saint Martins' public foyer, and curated by Dutch design-duo, Smogware (Iris de Kievith and Annemarie Piscaer) and London artist Jo Pearl, On Air will investigate the urgent problem of air pollution using smog dust, clay, glaze, ceramics and clay stop-frame animation to make visible and tangible this invisible poison, aiming to stimulate discussion, debate and vitally, action.
