Ceramic Cities Exchange – Kasama and Stoke-on-Trent
British Ceramics Biennial is involved in a number of international projects working with organisations and initiatives in supporting artists exchange aiming to deepen cultural and artist-lead dialogues between countries, organisations, artists and potters.  Platformed at BCB 2021, Kasama Potters, Clay College and Staffordshire University embark on a new collaboration and exchange between Stoke-on-Trent and Kasama, Japan. The initiative seeks to meaningfully build upon the Kasama Potters exhibition at BCB 2019 and the existing connection between Stoke-on-Trent and Kasama as places of significant ceramic heritage and contemporary practice. The exchange will take place through exhibition and through an online exchange programme.  This exhibition seeks to highlight the talent located in and emerging from Kasama and Stoke-on-Trent and the relevance that intercultural exchange can have in better understanding the significance of our places as the catalyst for creative innovation and excellence.

Haptic Tacit : Spode works
Haptic/tacit is a collective of artists, makers, and writers that creates opportunities to make, show, and explore ambitious modern craft through a series of thematically-driven exhibitions, events, and publications. For each iteration each participating member invites someone new to be involved, either working collaboratively, in response to one another, or due to their specific take on the subject. This approach creates an evolving network of makers, encourages dialogue, and maintains a fresh outlook, creating a new dynamic through each distinct endeavour. This project echoes the group residency haptic/tacit founding members took part in alongside other makers from the Crafts Council Hothouse scheme for emerging makers as part of the 2013 British Ceramics Biennial programme and is part of the 2021 biennial programme. The Spode Works site has continued to have creative resonance with architecture and space/place a recurring theme and it is through that lens that we approach this project,...

We are commoners
'We are commoners' is an exhibition that invites you to become or recognise yourself as a ‘commoner’. Featuring UK and international artists, the projects exhibited in this exhibition represent ideas and resources to inspire acts of commoning. For the exhibition created “Breaking Borders” Jacky celebrates shared places, systems and ideas that bring people together. Her project gives insight into commoning that takes place through local community food production and skills sharing. ‘Bees and Refugees’, the collective enterprise in London featured in this work, supports people through difficult times whilst improving community cohesion and benefiting biodiversity. Founded by Ali Alzein, the charity protects honeybees as well as helping refugees who may be struggling to adjust to their new lives. Having fled his home in Syria, Ali speaks of the importance of ‘freedom of movement’ and ‘breaking borders’ for refugees. Jacky has purposely avoided giving the sculptural forms a border, displacing the organised structure...

Dates: 07-10-2021 to 31-10-2021
I was recently elected to the LSA and am taking part in their annual members show at the Newarke Houses Musuem in Leicester. The show is FREE to the public and runs from the 7th October until the 31st October. Open Tuesday - Sunday 10am-4pm. The work I have in the show are two solar plate intaglio prints, created using dock leaves that have been eaten away by dock beetles, leaving a lace like pattern. Solar plate prints are a less toxic form of printmaking, as the process uses only sunlight and water. I have framed the prints in solid oak frames, and unframed editions are also available. If you are not able to make the show the works are also online here... http://www.leicestersocietyofartists.co.uk/events/2021/annual-exhibition-artwork-2021-page-4.php http://www.leicestersocietyofartists.co.uk/events/2021/annual-exhibition-artwork-2021-page-4.php

In January 2021 , i needed to virtually present my final work for my MA at Derby Uni, so i chose to spend a bit of money and some time installing my work in a lovely local little gallery in Stoke.  During the time it was up i was able to document the artwork, play around with the work and film some ritualistic performative actions.     To see some of the films please visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC81KQwD-0aInvo79URq5MYQ
Rite of Passage

Dates: 20-11-2019 to 04-12-2019
Rite of Passage
A Rite of Passage is a ceremony/event marking an important stage of a person’s life, e.g. Birth or Marriage. As Van Gennep described, Rites of passage have three distinct phases: Separation: The detachment – Cutting away from the former self. Liminality: A transitional phase where one has left a place/state but has not yet joined the next. Incorporation: Assuming a ‘new’ identity, often characterised by an elaborate ritual e.g. A wedding. This exhibition culminates a selection of works which are relative to these three stages, and perhaps question the importance and longevity of the Rite. Themes concerning permanence/impermanence, fragility and abjection are explored through the use of architectural installation and domestic materials.

Dates: 28-06-2020 to 28-09-2020
Protest For Protest
Protest for Progress was ZEST Hall’s very first exhibition - In partnership with Leeds City Museum, the exhibition featured work from 33 artists across the globe, as well as showcasing two collections from Leeds City Museum. Launched on the 28th June 2020, the exhibition marks 51 years since the Stonewall riots in New York City - a monumental protest which saw the uprising of the LGBT+ community against their long battle with police brutality. With the protests and the uprising of the #blacklivesmatter movement, we felt that the exhibition could not be more timely, as we continue to fight against police brutality in a system which is oppressive to minority groups. The exhibition aims to represent minority voices, focusing on protests, rebellion and change. With works ranging from photojournalism, paintings, spoken word, installation, film and performance, we hope to use our platform to educate and visualise a better future.

Connections
In this group exhibition the artists have explored their experiences through the Covid-19 Lockdown. The theme of 'Connections' has been kept open to interpretation to give as much artistic freedom to the artists, allowing them to create unreservedly while in these times of uncertainty. Whether that be digital connections, emotional, or personal; the artists have taken their own ideas of it to create exciting new works to show to you on this digital platform. My piece is a short animation comprised of ink drawings which reflect the personal journey I have been on, though I am sure the journey will never really be over. Like many, for most of this year, I have felt disconnected from pretty much everything other than my household.One positive outcome from this strange period has been the time for self-reflection, I have never been very good at dealing with my personal issues, in the last...

Interim Exhibition 13th January 2020
Firstly, I would admit that after two years of responding to module briefs, I have found self-directing quite a challenge; knowing where to start, fear of pursuing the wrong lines of enquiry and balancing the dissertation work have, at times, been over whelming. I enjoyed relative success with various experiments in ‘chance’ which included introducing ink and paint onto appropriated images however, I don’t find this a satisfying way to work and felt the resulting work didn’t really come from me; it didn’t speak of my interests and felt disingenuous Despite my aversion to digital work I enjoyed some success with smaller modified works achieved in photoshop. I pinned these in my workspace but I think they went largely unnoticed, mistaken perhaps for research. The original images were appropriated from vintage Sotheby’s Art at Auction catalogues. I worried for some time that I wasn’t settling on one particular medium or...

The Knit & Stitch Show textile gallery | Alexandra Palace London 10th -13th October 2019 Kate’s adoption and journey to find her birth mother, is the inspiration for the works she will be exhibiting this year.My collection is called ‘Not From The Stork,’ she explains. It came from spotting a piece of graffiti near Brick Lane in London. It was a picture of a Stork on vintage wallpaper, I photographed it, and later when I got home, I sketched a version of it. It’s an image that stuck in my mind. I decided it was the right time in my life to find my birth family. My birth mother had me when she was 18. I learnt about her journey before having me, and the first six weeks when she was allowed to keep me before being adopted. I found out that she died when she was 60; I had...

INSPIRED
Members of the Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) will show work inspired by “an object of personal significance” for a juried exhibition. Many of the country’s foremost glass artists will be presenting dynamic new and original pieces. My inspiration for Coiled 2 was the Rotunda being built in 1963. Birmingham’s architectural, industrial and manufacturing heritage informs my work conceptually and aesthetically, using a restricted colour palette of greys to bring this to the foreground. To create my work, I use an experimental approach to traditional cage blowing. I am actively investigating my personal heritage within Birmingham as well as my grandparents’ histories with the materials that we share a passion for and how this influences my practice. My grandfather worked at Metal Spinners Birmingham and my great-grandfather was a glassblower for Chance Brothers and Company, once a leading glass manufacturer and pioneer of British glassmaking technology in Smethwick, Birmingham.​ Coiled 2...
