ICF 2025 is excited to be focussing on a sustainability theme for the next festival. It will include examples of low energy kilns, single firing techniques, work created from waste materials, kintsugi and traditional practices in Japan and India. Confirmed demonstrators include Jean Sampson (Wales), Euan Craig (Japan), Elif Ağatekin (Turkey), Yuliya Makliuk, Adil Writer (India) and Lisa Orr (US).
A session of presentations and panel discussions “sustainability in ceramic practice” will expand the topics covered with a blend of in person and virtual participants and attendees.
The carbon footprint of the festival will be reduced by including some virtual presentations, encouraging travel by public transport and car sharing, and reducing plastic and waste at the event.
