Ceramics Now Magazine - January 2025

Ceramics Now Magazine Issue 6 (January 2026) features the interdisciplinary work of Mai-Thu Perret on the cover. In Decoding Mai-Thu Perret: An Analysis of Art, Identity, and Narrative, Doug Navarra explores how Perret's approach transcends traditional notions of ceramics, drawing viewers into a dialogue on materiality, identity, and cultural history.

This issue includes Jennifer Zwilling's insightful analysis of The Future of Clay, a major exhibition presented by The Clay Studio, Philadelphia, and offers a perspective on the 2024 Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale of Korea. Christina Rauh Oxbøll contributes a thoughtful essay on Cuts, Stripes, and Knots, a retrospective of Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl's work at the CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark. Additionally, the issue highlights the 2024 Taiwan Ceramics Biennale at the Yingge Ceramics Museum.

Featured in this edition are the works of four exceptional ceramic artists: Patti Warashina, Keiyona C. Stumpf, Eugene Ofori Agyei, and Gaby Mlynarczyk. Their innovative practices and diverse perspectives enrich the contemporary ceramics landscape.

Our exhibition section showcases a vibrant selection of ceramic art, including Felicity Aylieff at Kew Gardens, London; Austin Coudriet at Kouri + Corrao Gallery, Santa Fe; Yo Akiyama at ARTCOURT Gallery, Osaka; En Iwamura at Almine Rech, Shanghai; and Mary Tuthill Lindheim at the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, among other shows.
