Giri Raj Prasad and Manori Lal are traditional potters from India. They will take part in the Expo as our international guest artists, continuing our programme to present a world of excellence in ceramics at Warrandyte and continue our international cultural exchange. The two Indian potters will demonstrate their skills on their traditional large stone wheel that revolves on a timber pivot. Shyam Prasad will be acting as assistant and interpreter. They will also have some of their work for sale at the Expo.
