Part of Farnham Craft Month 2024

As part of the Open event series, Director of Craftspace, Deirdre Figueiredo will talk about the pottery demonstrations given by Gwari potter Ladi Kwali during a tour of US universities in 1972. Drawing from material from the Michael Cardew archive that will be displayed as part of Open in the ground floor Tanner Gallery, Figueiredo will touch on the impact of the demonstrations and how Kwali’s performance sought to unite African American communities through craft.

Free event but advance booking essential.
