Open Call for Mentors

British Ceramics Biennial Talent Development programme is delivering a mentorship opportunity during 2024.  The mentoring programme seeks to support early career creatives working in clay who feel that they face barriers progressing in their career and accessing a professional network in the field of contemporary ceramics.

We are looking for established artists, curators or arts professionals who are passionate about supporting early-career artists working in clay as part of the BCB Talent Development Mentorship programme. We want to hear from people willing to share their knowledge, skills and expertise.

This will take place in a series of online meetings between mentees and mentors. Mentor selection and pairing will take place between 3 and 14 October 2024. Mentors and mentees will then connect and agree on their session timeline. The mentoring relationship intends to run from October 2024 to January 2025.
