Event Description
The BCB Mentorship programme welcomes applications from early-career creatives working in clay who feel they face barriers in accessing a professional network in contemporary ceramics.
These barriers may relate to financial circumstances, ethnicity, education, social class, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, neurodiversity, long-term health conditions or other protected characteristics.

This programme is open to artists:

Who have been working with clay for at least 1 year
