Curators' Statement
High School Teapot Invitational

This 10th Biennial Exhibition in the main Gallery examines artists’ interpretations of the teapot form in various media, including clay, fiber and metal. This exhibit, loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, combines literature and the artwork of surrealism to examine the concept of the “imagination run wild” and how different forms of artwork communicate the ideas of the artists.   Buy Catalog Poster

The artists’ teapot must contain a lid, a spout, a handle and a body. The exceptional work in this exhibit demonstrates all of these elements while embracing individual creativity and diversity. Area high schools art programs were invited to select the best ceramic teapots made by their students. We would like to thank all the schools who participated, not only the artists themselves but the art teachers who nurtured and supported their students. Craft Alliance encourages all of the teen artists to continue to explore their artistic endeavors.
