What is Fresh?
The Fresh exhibition celebrates and promotes emerging talent in contemporary ceramics in the UK and Ireland. Fresh 2023 will provide a platform for artists to inspire and challenge, bringing focus to the rich and diverse learning opportunities, which are shaping ceramics today.
Twenty-five exhibitors are selected by a panel composed of young-people, artists, makers, educators and learning designers. Fresh is one of the headline exhibitions of the British Ceramics Biennial programme.
Four Fresh Talent Awards are given to extraordinary emerging talent exhibiting in Fresh during the BCB festival. The Fresh Talent Awards include a range of unique residency opportunities that will take place through partnerships with Staffordshire University, Guldagergaard International Ceramics Research Center and Grymsdyke Farm.
Fresh and the Talent Development Programme are proudly supported by Potterycrafts.
Who is Fresh for?
Fresh is looking for artists at a launch moment in their practice. This is an exhibition that platforms a cross-section of emerging talent, celebrating artistic discovery, which shows the courage of new beginnings. Fresh seeks to represent artists coming from a variety of learning experiences – from self-taught artists and community workshops to degree programmes, apprenticeships and more.
