The cover of this exciting new issue, showcasing the stunning work of Javier Bravo de Rueda, sets the tone for a collection of insightful articles, artist profiles, and news.

Among the articles, Katherina Perlongo takes us on A Journey Through (un)Known Territories, exploring the 5th Officine Saffi Award (won by Javier Bravo de Rueda), while John Roloff delves into the intersection of ceramics and environmental science in Expanded Ceramics / Holocene Agriculture: Recent Performance and Site Proposals. Doug Navarra offers a critical review of Ranti Bam’s debut at James Cohan, New York, and Dr. Marte Johnslien explores the materiality of titanium white in her essay Hidden Stone. We also highlight the finalists of the 15th Westerwald Prize 2024 at the Keramikmuseum Westerwald.

In this issue, we proudly profile a diverse range of exceptional ceramic artists, including Myung-Joo Kim, Brook Sigal, Beatrijs van Rheeden, and Kim L Pace. Each of these artists brings a unique perspective to the field.

Additionally, we feature a selection of exciting exhibitions from around the world. From Ceramics in Innlandet at the Center for Ceramic Art Ringebu in Norway to Karen Bennicke’s Manhattan Portraits at HB381 Gallery in New York, these shows celebrate both established and emerging ceramic artists.

Founded by Vasi Hirdo in 2010, Ceramics Now is a leading art publication dedicated to contemporary ceramics.
