Back for a third time in 2013, Stoke-on-Trent’s
British Ceramics Biennial will run for 6 weeks from 28 September – 10 November. The
festival will present work from the UK’s leading contemporary ceramic
artists in a series of new exhibitions and special events across the
city.
Following the success of the last Biennial in 2011, the festival will
again take over the spectacular China Hall at the original Spode factory
site in Stoke town. In addition to the FRESH exhibition showcasing the
best of the current crop of UK ceramics graduates, there will be a
strong international flavour with work on display from Scandinavia.
Nao Matsunaga has been awarded the £10,000 British Ceramics Biennial
AWARD in recognition of his exceptional creativity in contemporary
ceramics. He was presented with the prize on 18 October at an awards
ceremony to celebrate the British Ceramics Biennial in Stoke-on-Trent,
the home of the British ceramics industry.
The awards evening also celebrated the winner of BCB’s FRESH bursary,
which was awarded to Cardiff Metropolitan University graduate Sarah
Worgan for her installation-based work.
