Professor Sebastian Blackie, an international authority on ceramics is preparing for his latest international research venture.

During 2008 he was one of just 17 UK artists invited to the Fu Ping International Museum of Contemporary Ceramics in China to make art work which will be on permanent display in the British Pavilion.
