The Cynthia Corbett Gallery is proud to announce our first online ceramics exhibition, entitled Clay Today: A Showcase Of Ceramics In Isolation, curated by the Young Masters Maylis Grand Ceramics Prize Judge and Curator Preston Fitzgerald. The exhibition has eighteen international artists working in all mediums of clay, earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. The ethos behind this show is to provide a platform for artists and makers working in isolation due to the pandemic which has been very challenging for their working practices and for the production of their objects. The works presented here reflect various directions that these artists followed while adjusting their work processes and treatment of materials, given the constraints of isolation. All the artists are dealing with the challenge of exhibiting work that is tactile and multi-dimensional as physical exhibitions have been curtailed, cancelled and many galleries have had to adjust their programming.

All the artists are strong believers in giving back to their community. Therefore, we have chosen The Craft Pottery Charitable Trust (CPCT) as the beneficiary of 10% of all sales. The CPCT is the charity of The Craft Potters Association (CPA), a UK organisation which has been promoting contemporary studio ceramic artists for over 60 years. We have four CPA members in the exhibition: Chris Bramble, Tanya Gomez, John Higgins and Chris Keenan. Thus, we are pleased that all ceramic sales will help other ceramic artists through the disbursement of these funds from The CPCT.

Fitzgerald comments: 'The tradition of promoting artists working in clay is very much the ethos of The Young Masters Maylis Grand Ceramics Prize (YM) started by Cynthia Corbett in 2014 and which I am proud to be a Judge and Curator. The YM alumni artists participating in Clay Today include YM Prize winner and Highly Acclaimed ceramicist Matt Smith, who currently has a solo exhibition at the Pitts Rivers Museum in Oxford, as well as fellow shortlisted YM Prize artists: former V&A artist-in-residence Amy Hughes, Jo Taylor, whose recent works can be seen at the Korean Ceramics Biennale, and Albert Montserrat.'

We hope that you enjoy this online exhibition Clay Today and are impressed by the range and breadth of art that can be achieved with the medium of clay.

- Preston Fitzgerald, Curator, and Cynthia Valianti Corbett, Founder & Director.
