Below are photographs of the Fat Lava exhibition on view from 15th July to 12th August 2006 at the King’s Lynn Arts Centre. This was the first time that these ceramics from this period have ever been exhibited in public, and over 3,500 people attended the exhibition from as far afield as Canada, the US and many parts of Europe.
