Opening 6 June 2026, Creative Conversations: Studio Ceramics from The Stradling Collection is the largest ever display of the Stradling Collection's mid to late 20th century British Studio Ceramics. Bringing together some 100 works by makers including Bernard Leach, Lucy Rie, Gordon Baldwin, and Gillian Lowndes, the exhibition explores the deeply personal exchanges between collector Ken Stradling and the makers whose work he championed — weaving together a story of dialogue, taste, and creative exchange that shaped both a collection and a wider chapter in British ceramics history. On show until 20 September 2026.
