The RBSA is holding an Open Ceramics exhibition this August and inviting entries from designer makers and artists from all over the UK who work in clay. This will be a first for the RBSA and a special event for ceramics, certainly in the West Midlands. It will be an opportunity for makers of all styles and techniques to showcase their work, covering all aspects of the contemporary ceramic scene – studio ceramics, sculptural forms or experimental pieces – be they established or emerging makers. All work must be fired. Each maker will be asked to submit 3 photos of their style of work, and 1 photo demonstrating the size and scale of their work, for selection. Those selected will then be asked to submit up to 6 pieces for the exhibition.
