Eleventh Annual Cup Show: “Form and Function”
Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting its annual juried exhibition that explores the idea of the
drinking vessel. The focus of the exhibit is on the function and concept of the drinking vessel, including its relation
to history, politics, craft, technology, utility, and narrative. It is a survey of the wide variety of approaches to
contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel – the cup.
Juror
Adam Field Born and raised in Colorado, Adam earned his BA in art from Fort Lewis College. For two years, he
immersed himself in the culturally rich art scene of the San Francisco Bay Area, where he began his full time studio
practice. From there, he relocated to Maui, where he established a thriving studio business. He spent most of 2008
in Icheon, South Korea, studying traditional Korean pottery making techniques under 6th generation Onggi master
Kim Ill Maan. In 2013 he created and premiered HIDE-N-SEEKAH at the NCECA conference in Houston, TX.
After maintaining his studio in Durango, CO for 5 years, Adam moved to Helena, MT in 2013 where he was a long-
term resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts. Adam is now a full-time studio potter in Helena, MT.
His Works are included in private collections and kitchen cabinets internationally.
