Treasures of Chinese Porcelain (2011)
In
November 2010, a Chinese vase unearthed in a suburban semi in Pinner
sold at auction for £43 million – a new record for a Chinese work of
art. Why are Chinese vases so famous and so expensive? The answer lies
in the European obsession with Chinese porcelain that began in the 16th
century.

two-dimensional studies, that marry historic exploration and
self-expression. The workshop will culminate in a raku-firing of the
vessels, which the participants will in turn take home with them.
