60 years 60 pots book
This 140 page book is available at all of the exhibition venues and costs $45.
It covers all of Mirek's potting history and includes all of the marks that he has ever used,
as well as photos of all of his work that is being exhibited.
I've heard that libraries have this book .... must check our local library for it.

I was left fulfilled after reading the book...... the pots speak volumes to me *sighs*
Maybe you should meet Mirek yourself ..... I know I would like that honour.

Do you think that's been spell-checked rather than proof-read?

Hi there, are you sure 60 years 60 pots is caming to little old Henderson Corban Center? Lopdell would be a better option apart from the parking. I have just looked at thumb nail He puts colour to the shapes so well.

Saw in the Press on Friday that there will be an exhibition at Ashburton Art Gallery, Baring Square East, until Jan 27th 2013. Can't wait to go and look and it is only 1/2 hr from where I live!
