Teapots for "No Drips Allowed" starting to arrive!!!

The teapots and mugs for Brian's show have started to arrive and Brian has been photographing them and putting them online.  This show is going to be a little bit different from previous shows in that the opening is going to be streamed LIVE ON LINE!!! Kimberly from BlueWave Media is going to be here to make it happen. Kimberly is our incredible web designer who has given us our new look. Not only will the exhibition be live you will also be able to BUY ONLINE!!! Yes it will be possible to actually buy online starting at 8 o'clock.  The exhibition opens at 7PM but for the first hour, keeping with gallery policy, people attending have priority purchasing rights.  In the nine years that we have been open we have always given the people attending our openings first choice.

Making our exhibitions accessible online is part of our mandate in making the best in contemporary Canadian ceramics available to a wider audience.  We are quite excited about having the exhibition streaming live as many of the artists are attending. This will give you a chance to put a face to a piece of work.

More details will follow but essentially the game plan is:

Live streaming of the exhibition will begin at 7PM

All teapots and mugs will be photographed and online.  As work sells between 7PM and 8PM it will be marked such on the web.  At 8PM web-watchers can join the party!!!!

More details to follow as the story unfolds!!!

Teapots are the perfect 'functional form' for ceramic collections. With such a wide range of creative interpretations that embody an automatic understanding of form following function, these are my favourite items, from an early Laurie Rolland to anonymous mass-produced teapots like a small square one intended to fit into a travelling wicker tea basket for civilized imbibing in the field or on a picnic.

I look forward to seeing Brian's images of your selections Jonathon.

Cheers,
