London’s vibrant art scene welcomes the return of Ceramic Art London 2025, Europe’s premier ceramics fair, taking place from May 9-11, 2025, at Olympia West in West Kensington. Organized by the Craft Potters Association of Great Britain, this three-day event promises to be a dazzling showcase of contemporary ceramic art, bringing together over 120 exhibitors from across the globe and attracting around 6,000 visitors from more than 30 countries.
This year’s fair builds on the success of its 2023 edition, which saw the event outgrow its previous venue and move to the spacious, light-filled Olympia West. The venue’s versatile two-floor layout, equipped with modern amenities like AV equipment, WiFi, and diverse catering options, creates an ideal setting for this celebration of creativity. Expect to see an eclectic range of works, from intricately crafted porcelain vases to bold sculptural pieces, reflecting the boundless possibilities of clay as a medium.
Highlights include the works of artists like Jaeeun Kim, whose porcelain vases draw inspiration from the House-Tree-Person art therapy technique, weaving personal narratives of home and memory into each piece. Similarly, Sung Jin blends everyday observations with innovative design, offering fresh perspectives through his ceramic creations. The fair’s curated Talks Programme, led by Karen Bray of Ceramic Review magazine and Preston Fitzgerald, will offer engaging discussions, providing insights into the evolving world of ceramics.
Beyond the exhibitions, Ceramic Art London 2025 is a hub for discovery and connection. Visitors can explore affordable pieces for new collectors alongside high-end works for seasoned enthusiasts, making the event accessible to all. The fair also fosters a sense of community, offering a platform for both established and emerging artists to share their craft with a global audience.
For those planning to attend, the nearby Mercure London Hyde Park Hotel is just a 20-minute ride away, offering a convenient and comfortable base. Whether you’re a collector, artist, or simply curious about the art of ceramics, this event is a must-visit for anyone seeking inspiration in London’s dynamic design scene.
