The Zero in series with the theme "Peripheral" was at the Ayala Museum last month, and they have the 1st South East Asian Ceramics Festival, featuring 16 Filipino potters (pot makers) and 10 South East Asian potter artist. The event is first of its kind and it is the first time to have a convergence of ASEAN potters here in the Philippines.

Pot making is here since the early and now the pots are being used as an artform and medium in creating artworks. We didn't even know that artworks embedded in our ceramics and pots are very important and even during the Chinese trading era with our locals have it already, blue pots and other ceramics are created only for trading, while red design are for home use only and not recommended for trading, I just learned all of this at the Ayala Museum, they have a treasure collection of different ceramics that came from the old era. Different designs and forms from China, Thailand and other countries are displayed. (read more below)


The exhibit, also dubbed as the Ring of Fire, means that all potter makers are from the region of the Ring of Fire, ASEAN potters are here and shared what they have to offer, and this is the very first gathering of greatest potters in Asia. It all started from Filipino potter Hadrian Mendoza for having this concept and glad that it happened and hope to have another shot next year. visit also their site at http://www.seapots.com
