About the Exhibition
Cedar Creek Gallery proudly presents the National Teapot Show XIII, a beloved tradition that brings artists from across North America together to explore the teapot's timeless charm and creative challenge.
The exhibition showcases an extraordinary range of handcrafted teapots in glass, metal, clay, wood, fiber, and mixed media, spanning functional forms to sculptural statements. Visitors can experience the show in person or online, and each teapot is available for purchase once sales open.
The exhibition is open through September 14, 2026.
