Stephen Dixon is Professor of Contemporary Crafts at Manchester School of Art,
Stephen studied Fine Art at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Ceramics at the Royal College of Art, graduating in 1986. Early exhibitions in London with Contemporary Applied Arts and the Crafts Council established a reputation for ceramics with a biting political and social satire. His figurative vessels have been exhibited in New York and St Louis in the USA and showcased at Manchester Art Gallery in 2005. Recent exhibitions have included Heart:Beat in Maharashtra, India and Passchendaele: Mud and Memory in the National Arboretum, Alrewas.
He combines his studio ceramic practice with regular forays into public and community arts;
In 2000 he received an Arts Council Year of the Artist award for ‘Asylum’, a collaborative project with Amnesty International U.K. and Kosovan refugees.
He curated the exhibition '200 Years: Slavery Now' in 2007, exploring issues of contemporary slavery in the year of the Bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade.
In 2010 he took part in 'the Pol Project' in India, working alongside MIRIAD colleagues to explore issues of sustainability in Dal Ni Pol, Ahmedabad. ('Hero' 2010)
Recent public engagement projects, 'Resonance', and 'The Lost Boys' have examined commemoration and the material resonance of archives and objects.
