Teapots Transfomed
A group show of contemporary teapots

Ferrin Gallery is currently hosting Teapots Transformed: A Group Show, featuring contemporary teapots as sculptural objects. Since 1979, Leslie Ferrin has curated exhibitions of contemporary teapots at museums, art centers and galleries throughout the country. In 2000 she wrote a book on the subject, Teapots Transformed: Exploration of an Object.

The show features works by local artists, e.g. the abstract forms in silver by Michael and Maureen Banner, woodfired stoneware based on architectural forms by Mark Shapiro, scenes of travels in Italy painted on porcelain by Mara Superior, and a carved limestone teapot for a garden by Tim de Christopher. Many of the artists in the show are currently featured in the "Artful Teapot", a traveling exhibition of teapots from the Kamm Collection opening next at the Montgomery Art Museum in Montgomery, Alabama in early November 2002.
