This highly anticipated annual exhibition features work from globally renowned and award winning artists, all attempting to defy the traditional form, function and meaning of the classic teapot. Featured glass artists include Jessica Amarnek, Robert Bender & Christina Bothwell, Jonathan Capps, Ronit Dagan & Benny Agam, Erik & Martin Demaine, Brian Engel, Gregory Grenon, Jin Won Han, David Licata, Michael Mangiafico, Robert Mickelsen, Kelly O'Dell, Jennifer Umphress and Dave Walters. Taking ingenuity and creativity to new heights in each of their distinctive idioms, the artists hail from a variety of backgrounds. While some specialize in the teapot form, many others are exploring the form for the first time and often create the most evocative and out-of-the-box teapot sculptures.
