The latest issue of Ceramics Now Magazine

Ceramics Now Magazine Issue 23 (October 2026) features Bianca MacPherson’s work on the cover. Rooted in personal and collective histories, MacPherson’s ceramic sculptures explore identity, perception, memory, and the experience of existing between worlds. Through abstraction, her forms move between recognition and ambiguity, inviting viewers to question how assumptions and histories shape what we see.

This issue brings together essays and reviews that reflect on transformation, material memory, and the connections between body, clay, and the natural world.
