​

  • Submit your portfolio by Friday 14 July 2023

- Each applicant of the Clay Makers’ Market may submit their portfolios (minimum 8 – 10 images), of works produced no earlier than 2018, for consideration for exhibition at SHAPING CLAY. Please include a short artist statement for the works you are submitting for consideration.

The Selection Panel seek to exhibit works in clay that are artistic, original, innovative, fresh, creative, stretching the boundaries of ceramic work, that may have a sense of cultural identity and imagination.

  • No additional participation fee is payable for this submission. However, a 30% sales commission of the sale price of the work will be charged by the Organizers for sales at SHAPING CLAY.

  • The Organizers will confirm whether your clay works have been selected for Shaping Clay by Monday 14 August 2023. This enables participants to exhibit new works by November 2023.
