Yes, I was heading out to the 7th National Teapot Show, a triennial celebration of teapots held at Cedar Creek Gallery in Creedmoor. I went to the show in the hopes of seeing some teapots, but what I found were TEAPOTS! which are entirely different animals.
Some were as small as my little finger, and others could have, with little difficultly, been mistaken for mid-sized mountains. There were teapots made out of stone, wood, metal, glass, porcelain, and anything else these artists could get their hands on.
Styles ranged from whimsical to disturbing to elegant and back to whimsical again. As brilliant as it is to see them in person, you can still see this year's teapots here.
So many gorgeous teapots... I am filled with teapot lust.
Oh! On another note: I've started a class at Artspace in sculpting the human form in terracotta! It is taught by Paris Alexander who also taught a fantastic figure drawing class. He is absolutely fantastic, and lots of his work is on display in his studio area in artspace (on the first floor and to the right). Soooo good!
