Charlotte Fraser Glass & Ceramic Award

The Charlotte Fraser Glass & Ceramic Award celebrates excellence in contemporary ceramic and glass practice. Open to practitioners working across a wide range of approaches—from functional and sculptural ceramics to kiln-formed, blown, or cast glass—the award encourages artists to explore the expressive and conceptual possibilities of these mediums. Submissions should demonstrate originality, strong material understanding, and a high level of craftsmanship. Artists at all career stages worldwide are welcome to apply. Named in honour of ceramics enthusiast and educator Charlotte Fraser, the award acknowledges her longstanding contribution to contemporary ceramics and to the development of emerging artists through teaching and mentorship.
