Ceramic Art London at Olympia: A Showcase of the Finest Pottery

BGUK_3232314 - Europe’s premier ceramics fair, Ceramic Art London, returns to Olympia in West London following on from the success of 2023 when the fair outgrew its previous venue and moved to Olympia in its 20th year. Running over three days from Friday, May 9th to Sunday, May 11th, 2025, it will showcase 120 makers from around the world. Tickets cost £20. Makers come from all over Europe and as far afield as Canada and Korea. Even those now based in the UK often take inspiration from distant cultures or their original homeland from such varied destinations as Tokyo to Norway. The much-celebrated talks programme is free with entry, and this year will feature themed days, curated by leading ceramic experts. Makers are selected from across the world. Such is kudos of the event with makers that some take many years to be accepted into the fair.

He has worked in ceramics for over 20 years. His current work makes reference to historical design patterns and draws on themes of British colonialism and the way in which the UK has been enriched by an eclectic mix of cultural styles.
