British Ceramics Biennial returns to Stoke-on-Trent

Happening right now in the UK is a six-week festival celebrating the very best in contemporary ceramics, returning to Stoke-on-Trent this autumn.

At the centre of the British Ceramics Biennial will be the former Spode Factory, housing a mass of exhibition and installations. Further shows will take place across the city in other venues.

BCB co-director, Barney Hare Duke said: "We are delighted to present the second Biennial for Stoke, which we're confident will fascinate and excite new audiences as well as revealing the potential of the city as a centre for innovation."

One of the key focuses of the festival is the opportunity for one UK-based ceramics artist to win a £10,000 prize at Award on 21 October. The prize was open to any professional clay crafter, and the 28 finalists will have their work exhibited at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery.
