Ceramics Now celebrates 15 Years with a Special Anniversary Edition

We are delighted to announce the release of our 15-Year Anniversary Edition, celebrating fifteen years of Ceramics Now through a special, artist-driven issue spanning 150 pages. Shaped by an open call that received over 950 applications, this edition brings together 24 selected artists whose practices reflect the diversity, urgency, and imagination of ceramics today.

Featured artists: Amber Rane Sibley, Renata Cassiano Alvarez, Andile Dyalvane, Linda Nguyen Lopez, Jovan Matić, Erin Berry, Tim Fluck, Céline Arnould, Heidi Bjørgan, Ahrong Kim, Yinchen Li, Toni De Jesus, Chiao-Chih Lu, Mark Goudy, Andréa Keys Connell, Yuka Nishihisamatsu, Théo Ouaki, Nick Ervinck, Tümay Erman, Ariana Heinzman, Barbara Léon Leclercq, Yaerin Pyun, Ana Buitrago, Renqian Yang. On the cover: Jovan Matić.

The selection brings together figurative and abstract sculpture, experimental vessels, glaze-driven work, digital and hand-built processes, and pieces that respond to the body, home, memory, identity, and everyday life. Across different cultural and personal contexts, the works show clay as something physical and direct, but also emotional, playful, fragile, and strong.

Alongside established artists, this edition introduces emerging voices that appear in Ceramics Now for the first time, reflecting what the publication has always stood for: discovery, openness, and the importance of giving space to new work and new perspectives.

This anniversary edition offers a snapshot of a field that remains restless, generous, and continually redefined by those who work within it. It marks fifteen years of Ceramics Now by bringing together artists whose work points toward what ceramics can still become, shaped by those who continue to test the limits of the material and find new ways to speak through clay.

We would like to thank everyone who applied to our open call for this special edition. We’re grateful every day to work in this field and to meet people who understand the value of clay. Here’s to many more years together!

The 15-Year Anniversary Edition of Ceramics Now is now available for purchase on our website. To celebrate, we’re also offering $15 off an annual Ceramics Now subscription throughout December (use the promo code 15YEARS).
