The Potters have also made a major and significant ceramic model of the ‘old Hermannsburg mission’ for the NGV which will be a centrepiece in the display.
To celebrate the announcement of this significant exhibition, Alcaston Gallery is excited to present a hand-picked selection of outstanding Hermannsburg ceramics on sale for one month with genuine price reductions .The sale online will support the Potters to come to Melbourne in September and also their assistance in teaching young people at Hermannsburg their pot-making skills.
