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
