Chelsea McMaster is a ceramic artist who primarily works with coil-building, sculptural techniques, and traditional finishes.

In 2023, she was awarded the NCECA Graduate Student Fellowship and the American Ceramic Circle Research grant. She is a Fulbright Scholar and a National Geographic Explorer whose focus is on the preservation, education, and expansion of Afro-Caribbean pottery practices.

Nanxi Jin (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist working with clay as a site of fragmentation and reconstruction. Born in Jingdezhen, China, the historical center of porcelain production, and now based in Chicago, her practice examines how ceramic materials carry cultural memory across geographies.

Her work begins with broken forms: shards, discarded vessels, and glaze residues. Rather than restoring these elements, she reassembles them into structures that hover between function and collapse. Through processes such as slip casting, hand-building, and modular construction, she destabilizes traditional ceramic hierarchies of refinement and perfection, foregrounding the overlooked waste, excess, and residue.

Nanxi received her BFA from Alfred University and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including NYCxDesign (New York), Woman Made Gallery (Chicago), SOIL (Seattle), Ceramic Art Avenue Gallery (Jingdezhen), and Paris Design Week (Paris). She has been awarded residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation, Ox-Bow School of Art, Vermont Studio Center, and Anderson Ranch. Her work is included in the Guangdong Shiwan Ceramic Museum’s collection in China.

Faye Hadfield (b. 1996) is a ceramic artist from the northeast of England, whose work explores emotion, while blending Rococo aesthetics with crude hand-built textures to create material dichotomies between surface and decoration. In Faye’s work, memories of the British countryside resurface as motifs through gestures in the foliaged decoration, giving homage to the bucolic landscape of England where she grew up.

Faye completed her BFA in Ceramics at Bath Spa University (Bath, UK) and the Kunst University (Linz, Austria), 2018. Faye holds an MFA in ceramics from The University of Iowa (Iowa, USA), 2026. Faye has exhibited her artwork internationally and nationally at Collect (London), Le Delta (Belgium), Soho Review (London), Ceramic Art Fair (Paris), Culture Object (New York), HAGD Gallery & Gallerie Worlfsen (Denmark), Nomad ST Moritz (Switzerland), Side Gallery (Spain), and annually at Paris Art & Design, in Paris and London. Faye has received international and national research grants to expand her research in ceramics and Rococo Ornamentation. Hadfield has been awarded residencies at Ceramica Suro (Guadalajara, Mexico), The Clay Shed (Bristol, UK), and CRICA exchange residency (Lincoln, Nebraska, USA).

Alma Berrow (b. 1992, Dorset, UK) is a British ceramic artist creating intricate trompe l’oeil sculptures that reimagine the still life through a contemporary lens. Her work playfully occupies the space between adult and child, humour and unease, often depicting food, tablescapes, and domestic scenes that feel both familiar and subtly disquieting.

Berrow began working with ceramics during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Dorset, developing a self-taught practice rooted in slow, highly detailed making.

Her work has been presented in a number of solo and group exhibitions, including three solo exhibitions with Lamb Gallery in London, as well as presentations with Sotheby’s and Timothy Taylor. She recently presented her first US solo exhibition, What Slips Beneath the Sugar, with Megan Mulrooney in Los Angeles, and has undertaken an international residency in Guadalajara with Cerámica Suro.

Her practice is increasingly expanding into larger, installation-based works that explore themes of community, ritual, and shared experience.
