EXHIBITIONS & PRESS
Since 2012, when Caroline Cole first started making ceramics, her one-off pieces have been shown in a number of galleries and exhibited across the UK and in China. Her work has attracted media attention from both the art world and more mainstream, lifestyle publications. In her early career, she was a Featured Maker at the Bevere Gallery in Worcester, and there have been three, highly regarded exhibitions of her collectable ceramics in London: at the Cole Gallery in Whitechapel, at the Herrick Gallery on Piccadilly and, her first solo show, at OXO Gallery on London’s South Bank.
In 2018, Caroline’s handcrafted ceramics were introduced to the Chinese market, when her unique pieces were exhibited in Shanghai, generating commissions from collectors, as well as interest from HNWI media outlets, such as the Hurun Report and Real Estate Frontiers.
Her studio ceramics have been featured, both in print and online: in Creative Review and in lifestyle magazines in Europe and the US, including German Vogue, where she contributed to a Modern Art section in Vogue Living, and the Wall Street International Magazine.
