The Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA) at York Art Gallery are pleased to host the Contemporary Studio Ceramics Subject Specialist Network Conference 2018.

‘Restating Clay’ will explore the contemporary studio ceramics landscape of now and the future. It will consider the questions: What are today’s opportunities? How are we and should we be adapting? Who and what can we learn from? What should we be advocating for?

This two-day international conference will bring together potters, artists, curators, academics, students, collectors, gallerists and enthusiasts from the UK and beyond, to share experience and knowledge about the issues that matter to the sector. An exciting and engaging programme of activities is being planned, including discussions, object handling, demonstrations, talks, workshops, films, store and exhibition visits.
