Claudia Clare
Claudia Clare is a British ceramic artist and writer known for her bold, narrative-driven pottery that confronts social injustice and amplifies the voices of women, especially those on the margins. Her large, hand-painted earthenware jars often depict stories of trauma, resilience, and resistance. Clare has not shied away from controversy: in 2022, she took legal action against the Craft Potters Association and University of the Arts London after being deplatformed due to her gender-critical views. In 2023, she won an apology and a settlement. Her case became a landmark moment in the ongoing battle over freedom of belief and expression in the UK’s cultural sector.
