Exhibitions and Gallery Talks
Since its opening at Farnham, the Centre has provided an imaginative presentation of its permanent collections through inspiring exhibitions and gallery talks. It also features temporary exhibitions of innovative new work by leading, contemporary British craft practitioners. The Centre’s aim for the future is to continue its high standard of exhibitions and related activities, with objectives to establish a reputation for quality of learning, teaching and research activity.
The Centre is a registered charity with a distinguished Board of Trustees chaired by the eminent potter and writer Professor Edmund de Waal.

Famous quotes containing the words gallery and/or talks:
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Who talks of Plato’s spindle;
What set it whirling round?
Eternity may dwindle,
Time is unwound,
Dan and Jerry Lout
Change their loves about.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
