Part of the London Design Festival

Geffrye Museum
136 Kingsland Road
Shoreditch, London E2 8EA
The Geffrye Museum’s popular annual celebration of ceramics returns in September, bringing together the work of 50 potters from across the UK- a mix of leading names and rising talents – in a riot of colour, styles, textures and techniques.
Ceramics in the City 2015, Carlo Briscoe, Birds and Bees Tiles
A wide range of domestic objects will be on sale, from classic homeware and lighting to ornamental and quirky one-off pieces. Delicate porcelain will be shown alongside earthy stoneware and cool white glazes will contrast with colourful painted vessels and pots. Prices range from £10 for smaller pieces to several hundred pounds for large-scale creations.
Ceramics in the City 2015, Amy Cooper, See Urchin Light
Throughout this relaxed and friendly event, visitors can meet the makers, browse, buy and watch demonstrations by featured potters. Free ceramics-inspired creative workshops for children and families will take place during the weekend (see below for event details).
A launch evening, open to all, will take place on Thursday 24 September from 6-8.30pm.
