Sometime in December 2019, before the world became changed, I sent in my entry for the Denver Art Students League biennial ceramics show. The show’s theme is functional tableware, and as many of you know most of my art is not functional. Early on I did make a whole bunch of salt and pepper shakers, but I had bigger visions in mind. So I started work on a teapot with this show in mind. I wanted a functional teapot that incorporated all elements of a body. I did a little sketching and started rolling out clay. Once completed I photographed my entry and sent it in to the Jury. I received my acceptance email early in 2020 and was excited about a June Denver opening, actually considering a trip to visit a favorite niece in Denver in order to attend the opening. But, alas, the world closed down. But the Art Students League was not to be deterred and the pushed on and reorganized for an online showing. https://asld.org/delectable-2020-online/
