Clip Award 2018 is part of the EU-Project Ceramics and its Dimensions, which is led by Porzellanikon porcelain museum and co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. The competition is carried out in co-operation with Kahla porcelain.

The workshop was first organised during the British Ceramics Biennial (BCB) 2017 where it attracted more than 4000 visitors. In February 2018 the workshop also visited Finland and Aalto University, read more about the visit here. The aim of the workshop is to play and learn with clay, but also to look at the material’s qualities and how they are used and experienced.

The workshop is part of the Ceramics and its Dimensions education and audience development program (Module 7) and has been carried out by BCB community and engagement programme manager Dena Bagi and Ceramics and its Dimensions: Shaping the Future coordinator Priska Falin. Besides them, during BCB the workshop was hosted by the following artists: Alice Thatcher, Joanne Ayre, Katie Leonard, Tasmin Williams, Joe Hartley, Helen Felcey and Barry Taylor.

The idea of the workshop is to collect data from the experiences and to develop the concept further. A paper discussing the workshop will be presented at the Restating Clay conference in the Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA) at York Art Gallery (UK) in March 2018.
