FREE ADMISSION Saturday & Sunday.
American collectors are now being enchanted by Ardmore ceramic art, thanks to Pascoe and Company, the Florida Show promoters. The sale of each unique piece helps to uplift the local community in KwaZulu-Natal, which has been greatly afflicted by the AIDS pandemic. Florida residents can make a difference by coming to see the South African artists at work during the West Palm Beach weekend and purchasing a piece. Fèe will be accompanied by award-winning modeler Victor Shabalala and painter Happiness Sibisi on their first visit to the USA.
Spain’s City of Porcelain
The City of Porcelain near Valencia in Spain is home to Lladró and they will be sending one of their most talented sculptors to Florida to demonstrate the creative process behind a porcelain figurine. Marco Antonio Nogueròn has been a Lladró sculptor since 1993 and is best known for his romantic creations, including Bridge of Dreams, Moonlight Love, and Treasures of the Earth. What Nogueròn loves most about his work is the moment of conception and the search for the spirit of the sculpture. Because of this, his modeling demonstrations are particularly fascinating to watch and will be a highlight of the Florida show for all Lladró collectors.
ADMISSION IS FREE on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st January. There is a nominal charge of $10 for the opening night preview party on the evening of Friday 29th January.
Another highlight of the Florida show is the COLLECTORS DINNER PARTY on Saturday, 30th January – tickets $49.50 must be pre-booked with Pascoe and Company.
