Check Out The New Tile Mural!

This past summer the students at The Peter Paul Development Center's summer camp came to VisArts to learn about clay and mosaics. I lead a group of the older students to come up with the mosaic design and then each student created a handmade clay tile. We also had help from some of the participants in Peter Paul's senior program. The mural recently was finished, installed and sealed in the center's garden!  We love it!

The Kamm Teapot Foundation

The Kamm Teapot Foundation has a new online catalog of their collection. I am excited to be included in the world's largest teapot collection! Take a loooksee, some fantastic stuff!

Teatime! Exhibition at the Clay Art Center

The annual teapot exhibition is happening now at the Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY. February 1- April 1 2014. Check out their site for upcoming teapot related workshops and events!

This exhibition of functional and sculptural teapots explores the history of tea and its relevance in our culture. The exhibition will highlight the teapot, whose form and related ceremonies has inspired artists for centuries and continues to be a valid form of expression in studios of contemporary artists today.
