CoCA’s Day of Clay

CoCA Day of Clay (York Art Gallery) is this year teaming up with Effects Design Market and the Craft Potters Association to bring ‘Ceramics + Design Now’ to York, a city wide festival with events, workshops, talks and two selling exhibitions – Effects Design Market and York Ceramics Fair.

This festival of modern ceramics and design, which takes place over the first weekend of October 2018, will offer a growing audience the opportunity to engage more closely with material, meet designers, and explore more widely a global movement towards sustainable, low impact-high quality craft and design.

Join York Art Gallery, home to the most significant collection of British Studio Ceramics in the UK, for the annual Day of Clay, as part of the Ceramics + Design Now festival 2018.

Don’t miss this fantastic day of hands-on activities, performance art, raku firing, workshops and expert talks.
