While Yoko was in the Argonese capital of Zaragoza for the opening of her one-woman show, "Yoko Ono Ebro" (Named for the river that runs through the area), she spent an afternoon working, alongside Sean, in the School-Factory of Ceramics of Muel. Yoko will use the works created there in an exhibit planned for Budapest, Hungary in October.

Yoko and Sean learned about the making of ceramics during their three-hour visit in the Muel facilities. Yoko wrote Japanese characters relating to peace on 99 units of tile.

Yoko also drew on eleven ceramic plates "Instruction Paintings" messages: Yes, Touch, Fly, Imagine, Breathe, Reach, Forget, Feel, Dream, Open, Remember.

Pablo Rico, one of the commissioners of the "Yoko Ono Ebro" exhibition, said that this is the first time that work of conceptual art, with a Japanese origin, has been worked into ceramics.

Sean Lennon also learned the technical traditional methods of the Muel ceramists and painted drawings on plates and other pieces.
