” This conference aims to bring together Cambodian and international scholars specialized in ancient Khmer and mainland South East Asian ceramics, with contemporary potters and craftspeople working to revive ancient production techniques. In light of illicit trading in antiquities, the objective is to raise awareness of the archaeological importance of ancient Cambodian and mainland South East Asian ceramics, and to highlight the new opportunities for sustainable economic development in the region through contemporary ceramic technology.”

Well I’ve just shipped off a bit more work to a new gallery in Vancouver – Numen Gallery. Slowly but surely the shelves in my studio are becoming bare. Gotta find some more time somewhere to get more work done I guess! Too bad a 4 month old baby is too young to teach how to trim pots or glaze bowls, man the extra hands would be helpful! But anyway, if you find yourself in the area with a bit of time please do go and check it out! Cheers.

Numen Gallery – Suite 120, 1058 Mainland Street – Vancouver, B.C.
