Between August 20 and 26, 1977, the Albright-Knox’s education department organized a series of Chinese pottery and calligraphy demonstrations in conjunction with the exhibition Far Eastern Art in Upstate New York. As part of the demonstrations, museum visitors could try their hands at painting, clay modeling, and printmaking techniques similar to those used to create works in the exhibition.
