William Cobbing: Despised Mud, I Love You

Rooted in sculpture, William Cobbing's work encompasses a wide range of media including video, performance and installation. Clay is a central material in his practice, both in its raw and fired form.

'Despised mud, I love you' brings together new and existing work that uses clay to explore human interaction and emotional states.

Installed in The Burton's Ceramics Gallery alongside our historical collections, William's work interrogates the timeless, primitive qualities of clay that have made it a vital material for human expression over thousands of years.

The exhibition runs until 10 January 2026. Free entry.
