Sixteen Filipino potters and ten other Southeast Asian ceramic artists exhibited their works at the Ayala Museum from September 21 to October 4, 2009. This convergence of ASEAN potters was the first of its kind in the Philippines. The display of sixty-four works by the master potters in the region attested to the intensity, passion, and peculiar identity of ASEAN ceramic artists. Renowned ASEAN potters participating in the event included Ahadiat Joedawinata of Indonesia; Peter Low, James Seet, Lileng Wong, and Yeow Seng Cheah of Malaysia; Teck Heng Tan and Thomas Cheong of Singapore; Bathma Kaew-Ngok of Thailand; and Bao Toan Nguyen of Vietnam.
