The C Word, (Because Craft is Art's C Word).

This is where I write about completed work and exhibitions. I also write occasional reviews.

And The Door Opened
is grateful for funding from Arts Council England, (ACE.)

Covid 19: And The Door Opened: exhibitions, displays, events: postponed until 2021

Expected March 2021: Ceramic Art London, (CAL,) Central St. Martin's, 1 Granary Square, N1C 4AA,

Claytalks Lecture, 1-2pm, 'And The Door Opened.' I'm trying to persuade them to let me display a few pots there too - watch for updates on that.


Expected approx same dates, 2021: May 1st- September 30th, with St. Botolph's without Aldgate and Beyond the Streets: 'And The Door Opened' comes to Whitechapel for the Summer. St. Botolph's will host a small display of pots and I will be there on the last Thursday of every month, with Beyond the Streets, to talk about the pots and the project and for a walking tour round Whitechapel. 'A Hidden History of Women in the East End' remembers the lives of the women murdered in the East End by an unknown man - now called 'Jack the Ripper.' The talk and tour focuses on the lives of the women, some of whom were prostituted, and on where they lived, rather than fetishising their murders as the JtheR tours do. They also connect these women's lives to those of prostituted and homeless women in London now. Beyond The Streets, like Women @the Well, provides exiting services and other support to women exploited in prostitution. This is a ticketed event, starting in March. If you want to see the pots as well, click on the 'Hidden History' link above to reserve your place between May-September. I've been on this walk and it is superb. You won't be disappointed. St. Botolph's without Aldgate, Aldgate Hight St. EC3N 1AB.


Expected late September 2021: Major event being planned with St. Botolph's without Aldgate and Beyond the Streets. More updates as soon as I get them.


Expected 2021: Southwark Cathedral, London Bridge, SE1 9DA. Display of pots

This will likely be postponed to October 2021: Filia Conference 2020, Portsmouth, display of pots from the 'And The Door Opened.'

About Me

My photo
Claudia Clare
Artist who makes pots. Feminist - which often governs the decisions about what kind of pots to make. I also make pots with landscapes and roses and no discernible social comment. "Narrative, satirical, allegorical, and observational," according to Emma Ridgeway of Modern Art Oxford. I write - professionally - but it's not my main job. Author of 'Subversive Ceramics,' Bloomsbury 2016, and co-authored, 'The Pot Book,' with Edmund de Waal, Phaidon 2011.
