Ferrin, a specialist in contemporary ceramics for forty years, represents several of the artists Moore chose for the survey exhibition.

The conversation will also touch on the influences and experiences of artists in the exhibition including American artist, Cristina Cordova whose Puerto Rican heritage is a major influence on her work and the four international artists in the exhibition, Russian born, Sergei Isupov, Estonian born Kadri Parnamets and two who now produce their work in Jingdezhen, China, the birthplace of porcelain, Robin Best, Australian, and Hong Kong born Sinying Ho.
