by | Oct 22, 2014 | | 0 Comments

October 25 – November 29, 2014

The caffeine rituals we partake in as humans are many and varied.
From the blend and preparation to the time of day and people we choose
to share a coveted beverage with, more often than not, these habits have
significance in our daily lives. Robin DuPont and Sarah Pike are both
full time studio potters, recognized amongst their peers as makers of
teapots, mugs, cups, creamers and more things that all shout ‘Caffeine’!
They are also both avid ‘coffee enthusiasts’ and ‘ritual aficionados’.
This joint exhibition, is an exploration of the ‘caffeine’ theme and an
opportunity for the viewer to recognize and appreciate how both makers
interpret the theme through their unique forms and aesthetic choices.
