This exhibition opened at Rotorua last Friday, hon-john went and thoroughly enjoyed it.
He spoke to Mirek about his time at Crown Lynn while he was there.
The exhibition will be showing in Auckland at the Corbans Estate Henderson from
21st July 2011 to 4th September 2011.

Post  Ev Mon 28 Dec - 16:29

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.

This Exhibition is still rolling it's way around the country .....
The Manawhatu Standard mentions this Exhibition plus other things that made me chuckle Smile
There are neverending ways to spell Smisek it appears Wink

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.
