Fresh
is a curated survey exhibition of new ceramic work by recent graduates
from UK Higher Education programmes. Organised by the British Ceramics
Biennial BCB and the National Association of Ceramics in Higher
Education (NACHE). 

Graduates (BA, MA) of UK higher education universities and colleges
who graduated in 2014 or 2015 are invited to apply for the BCB FRESH
2015 – a prestigious exhibition that celebrates the emerging talent in
contemporary British ceramics, in the context of its long history in
Stoke-on-Trent.

The acclaimed FRESH show will be one of the main exhibitions at the
fourth British Ceramics Biennial, taking place in the Original Spode
Fatcory site in Stoke-on-Trent, from 26 September to 8 November 2015.

Our aim is for FRESH to:

  • Promote the high quality work of graduates to a professional and
    public audience through a combination of visitors to the show,
    symposium, journal articles and reviews.
     
  • Represent the range of practice of graduates within the field, which
    is anticipated to include work from across the ceramic spectrum: studio
    pottery, tableware and industrial design, figurative and abstract
    sculpture and installation.
     
  • Provide an invaluable launch pad for the exhibitors as they embark on their professional careers.
     
  • Award commendations for three exhibitors demonstrating talent and
    professional potential in the disciplines of craft, design and fine art.

Deadline for applications: Monday 6 July 2015
