Reflection Tea: 18th Biennial Teapot Exhibition
Exhibition Details
We all come to the table with different tea traditions. Some are formalized rituals, and others are casual customs. Throughout the world, many different adaptations of drinking tea have developed, from the ceremony, to practice, and rich traditions. Sharing our tea cultures brings us together and allows us to learn from one another, strengthening our community. This exhibition invites the viewer to explore myriad ideas of tea culture.
Tea culture is about being present. We rarely carve time between the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced lives to be in the moment with one another. Experiencing tea with a loved one is about sharing and being patient. Each tea set assembles a group of objects that all play an important role. It is a service of gratitude and respect.
