JAPANESE POTTERY EXHIBITION
----------------------------
This exhibition introduces some of the promising artists working
traditional pottery areas who are producing notable contemporary works
in the ceramic genre. Focusing on "vessels", the exhibition illustrates
how artists understand the functions of a vessel in an attempt to grasp
the nature of Japanese pottery today.Some seek to further enhance
traditional techniques while working in places where pottery has been
made for centuries, adding refinements in design in the effort to
create even richer works of art. Others strive to free themselves from
the fetters of tradition and create individualistic ceramic wares by
pursing completely new forms adapted to modern lifestyles.
When: 5th to 29th September 2007
Where: Maningham Gallery, 699 Doncaster Rd. Doncaster (Melway 33F12)
Cost: FREE
