9-11 July 2015 Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

The 2015 Triennale will include three days of conference presentations – keynote talks, panel discussions, individual artist's presentations; pre-conference master classes, exhibitions, a trade fair, a potters' market and, of course, a wealth of social events.

Canberra has been selected to host the 14th Australian Ceramics Triennale in 2015, the premier national forum for ceramics in Australia. The event attracts leading national and international industry leaders, ceramics practitioners, educators, collectors, critics and cultural theorists and will engage with the Canberra community through exciting and diverse programs and cultural approaches.

The conference attracts delegates from all over the world and will run from Thursday 9 July to Saturday 11 July 2015 and associated public programs commencing from Monday 6 July 2015.

Stepping Up is managed by Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre in partnership with the Australian National University, Strathnairn Arts, Canberra Potters' Society and The Australian Ceramics Association.
