Join us on Saturday 7 February 2026, for our special ceramics symposium at Chippenham Town Hall.
Developing the themes that will be explored in our next exhibition 'Subversive Forms: Revolutionary approaches to clay', this symposium day will feature illustrated talks and a discussion panel with six of the exhibiting artists.
Felicity Aylieff, Nicholas Lees, Halima Cassell, Patricia Volk, Jonathan Keep, and Mimi Joung will discuss the work included in the exhibition, as well as their individual practices, pushing the boundaries of possibility with clay.
The artists will then join Alun Graves, Senior Curator of Ceramics and Glass at the V&A, in a panel discussion chaired by writer and lecturer Conor Wilson.
