Lasting Impressions

A cornucopia of contemporary craft: The exhibition ‘Lasting Impressions’ brings together a culturally and artistically diverse group of creative practitioners from Central Saint Martins; showcased are recent BA and MA Ceramics graduates’ works – ranging from cutting-edge tableware to clay animation.

From material expressions of emotions to subjects as varied as racial discrimination, global warming, loss of insects and local fauna: This exhibition pays tribute to the extraordinary role ceramics can have in dealing with complex challenges of our contemporary society. Drawing on both their own experiences and discipline-based knowledge in their fields of practice, the emerging artists and designers use the lens of ceramics to consider issues of identity, heritage and sustainability, creating beautifully crafted highly considered works of socio-political and cultural significance.
