Ceramics Now Magazine - October 2025

Ceramics Now Magazine Issue 14 (October 2025) features the work of Jo Taylor on the cover, winner of the British Ceramics Biennial's 2025 Award Prize. Her work reimagines Rococo ornament through theatrical curves, asymmetry, and unapologetic exuberance.

This issue brings together exhibitions and essays that reflect a wide range of ceramic expression, from international biennials and exhibitions to reflective essays on legacy and material. Vasi Hirdo reports from the 2025 British Ceramics Biennial, exploring themes of exuberance and resilience. Doug Navarra offers a poetic reflection on Wayne Ngan, situating his contemplative forms within a dialogue between material and presence. Marc Leuthold writes on Crashing Ceramics, a dynamic exhibition at Taoxichuan Longquan Wangou Museum, while Karolina Wolska-Pabian explores monumental form and cultural identity in The 1st International Triennale of Ceramic Sculpture in Poland.

This issue features artists Isys Hennigar, Luke Huling, Adam Chau, and Anaïs Lelièvre, whose practices explore material, form, and narrative through distinct approaches that span sculpture, digital media, and immersive installation.

Featured exhibitions include Languages at Sculpture Space NYC, New York; Pernille Pontoppidan Pedersen at Galerie Maria Lund, Paris; Lin Wang at HB381 Gallery, New York; Form of Content at Alison Bradley Projects, New York; At the King's Table at Queen Sonja Art Stable, Oslo; Woodfire 2025 and Ian Jones at Gallery LNL, Sydney; John Rainey at Berg Gallery, Stockholm; and Phoebe Collings-James at KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art, Berlin.
