The New York Ceramics Fair lecture series is expanding to 16 lectures, to be offered during the fair's four-day presentation at the National Academy of Design, New York, N.Y., January 18-21, 2001. During the fair's premier presentation in January 2000, this series of lectures - ranging from consideration of major Wedgwood designers to a lecture demonstration by a contemporary Japanese potter – was attended by more than 1000 show visitors. Lectures will be illustrated by slides and, in some instances, with specific examples of the materials discussed. Seating is limited and reservations are required.
