All my work is based on utilitarian archetypes but influenced by architecture. I make teapots because of the challenge and because I love the expressive nature of the gesture, driven by the thrust of the spout. These will hold tea (not much) and pour (strangely). They are designed to give the owner something new to look at with each viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eI really love moving clay around, and am fascinated by the changing moods of this medium. I approach the work as a dialog or a partnered dance, listening and following as much as directing. Most of my work starts on the wheel, but doesn’t stay that way. I just can’t leave anything alone. I strive to throw like a hand builder, and will work on a piece until it surprises me with its newness. The work is mostly founded on utilitarian context (“teapot”, “lidded jar”, “bowl”’ etc.), but often not restricted by usefulness. I am more interested in the gesture of the genre, and am concerned with the sculptural presence of the object- how the object takes up space as well as how it shapes the space around it. Surface treatment is directed toward shaping the space within the space. Form and surface: that’s all we have to work with.\u003cbr\u003eI look to non-pottery sources for influence, and am drawn primarily to architectural forms as well as Chinese bronzes. I believe that traditional Indonesian wooden boats are among the finest forms ever made, and hope someday to make an object of such quality. Rarely are these influences used consciously. I prefer to witness, sublimate, and incorporate the images into the self of myself so that my heart and hands may do the real work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026. \u003cbr\u003eAfter the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Teapot Show XIII","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44331307041020,"sku":"NTSXIII-142-1","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/8146\/2941\/files\/142-1GlennDair-SpearmintRedTeapeepic1.jpg?v=1776361389"},{"product_id":"lucy-dierks-green-fall-teapot-with-blue-robin","title":"Lucy Dierks - Green Fall Teapot with Blue Robin","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLucy Dierks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eNorth Carolina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003ePorcelain wheel-thrown and altered teapot with hand-sculpted bird.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eFunctional\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e5.25\"w x 3.5\"l x 4.5\"h\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Teapot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eSomething about birds speaks to me.

It was challenging, but patience and constant practice turned it into my superpower. When I entered art and design college, I focused on illustration because it felt like the natural path for someone who loved drawing. Everything shifted in my second year when I took a ceramics class. I quickly connected with sgraffito, a process of applying contrasting slip to clay and carving back through it. It let me merge drawing with form, and soon I was building sculptures that combined two‑dimensional illusion with three‑dimensional space. Before long, I had a body of work that felt like three‑dimensional drawings of interior and exterior worlds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eAs my work and career evolve, I continue exploring this intersection of drawing and sculpture.

I’ve learned that some themes resonate more strongly with viewers, and recently, the human eye has become central in my work. The first time I carved an eye into a sculpture, and it seemed to look back at me, I knew I’d found something rich with possibility. Working mostly in black and white helps me focus on light, perspective, and clarity. People often comment on the precision of my work; even though I see the imperfections, I’m committed to honing my craft.

I choose the ceramic vessel to marry industrial form and surfaces with my thoughts about our consumer culture. I enjoy the interplay of roles between the utilitarian form as an object for eating and that of a conceptual vehicle for expression about global consumption.

I suspect there will never come a day when I'm not fascinated by how each piece takes shape. There's simply no detail about the process, whether trimming, altering, or glazing, that I don't enjoy. The same holds for the excitement I feel opening the gas or wood kiln after a firing. When a kiln comes out, I look to figure out what will come next. Each pot is a one-off, be it a vase or mug.

Clay has been Lin’s enduring passion for over four decades. His artistic inspiration draws from the early Chinese Shan and Zhou dynasty bronzes, as well as the elegant pottery of the Song dynasty. Additionally, he has been influenced by the American contemporary ceramics movement’s emphasis on the liberated and spontaneous creation of pottery.

Once embroidered, the backing is dissolved; what remains are freestanding leaves, sculpted over temporary molds and then removed.  These components are assembled into a hollow structure using fabric sculpting medium.  \u003cbr\u003eThe surface shimmers and shifts with changing light, suggesting movement and fragility that belie its structural integrity.  A needle felted owl, with glass eyes and a paper clay beak, crowns the form, merging sculpture, embroidery, and felting.\u003cbr\u003eThrough this process, I explore fiber’s capacity to transcend its expected softness, becoming both structure and surface.  Night Owl Tea reflects my ongoing interest in pushing fiber beyond traditional boundaries – transforming it into a medium of invention, depth, and expressive form.\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMeryl Ruth has gained international recognition for creating high-quality, intricately detailed, imaginative ceramic and fiber art.
