Juror’s Statement:
The teapot is one of the most recognizable and iconic
pottery forms throughout the world. It’s a form that has evolved
throughout history in many cultures, yet its function remains constant,
to deliver tea. Not many ceramic forms point at such a specific
ritual as the teapot does. The handle extends an offer to the user’s
hand, the lid invites the user to insert tea and hot water, and the
spout delivers the reward. It’s a magical object that mediates a
series of actions for a specific beverage.
There is probably no other pottery form that is as complex
as the teapot. What other form demands so much attention to so many
things? Form, design, function, ergonomics, pouring, scale, and history
are among many of the factors that one can address. It is also has the
most sculptural potential within the vernacular of pottery and
continues to be one of the most broadly interpreted forms in ceramics.
From strictly functional, to cube-shaped, to figurative, to organic,
the teapot has taken on so many variations. It has been one of the
most creatively interpreted forms in historical and contemporary
ceramics.

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. This year the exhibit is part of the National Clay Week http://www.nationalclayweek.org/ and will have an “interactive” component, which will take place on October 11.
