Visit the 2025 British Ceramics Biennial at Spode Works 124 Church Street ST4 1BU.
British Ceramics Biennial – BCB, is an arts organisation based in Stoke-on-Trent with a vision of making change through clay.
BCB develops, sustains and expands innovative ceramics practice and improves lives together with artists and creative communities. This is done by delivering an engaging year-round programme of artist commissions, learning and community projects. All of which feed into a contemporary ceramics biennial that takes place in Stoke-on-Trent.
British Ceramics Biennial is proud to be an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation and has support from Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the University of Staffordshire.
The show is housed in the former Spode Works, expansive post-industrial spaces which allow the exhibits to breath.
I urge you jump aboard a tram, train, bus or bike and make your way there.
My personal selection is far from all encompassing, my apologies to those whom I have arbitrarily excluded.
