Does it Pour?
13th May - 22nd July 2000

Lecture

A lunchtime lecture on "The History of the Teapot" by the potter Josie Walter (exhibiting in "Does it Pour?") was held in Leeds City Art Gallery Lecture Theatre on Thursday 25th May 2000.

This was the first lecture organised by The Craft Centre & Design Gallery and it was a great success. Many people came to listen to Josie share her knowledge and a number of interesting points were raised during the discussion afterwards.
