About the Teapot
I became fascinated with octopus. Their ability to morph into different shapes, colors, forms, and textures. I was fascinated that they have humor, solve problems, and can even open jars.
About the Artist
Rosemary Bennett met her husband Alan at Ohio State University in 1980, and by 1986 they had begun building a studio practice together. Since 1990, they have worked side by side as full‑time clay artists in Bath, NY. Rosemary’s lifelong love of the water—shaped by years of snorkeling and fishing—deeply informs the imagery in their work. Together, she and Alan create pieces inspired by fish, aquatic life, and other animals.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
After the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.
