Belger Crane Yard Studio is excited to announce Tea Time opening Friday, August 7, 2020. There will be a small Collectors Preview from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm with advanced registration required. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday from 10:00 am-5:00 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am-4:00 pm. Please contact gallery@belgerarts.org to book a time to see the exhibition or to schedule a tour.

Tea Time showcases a selection of teapots from Belger Crane Yard Studio’s gallery paired with pieces from the Belger collection. As we enter into our 6th month of social distancing, these objects celebrate times of togetherness, sharing space, and serving one another. Unified amongst their function, this unique grouping highlights a vast diversity of artistic styles and approaches to making teapot forms.

Teapots hold a special place in the tradition of ceramic art and pottery making. Whether considering the social and cultural overtones of preparing and serving tea, to acknowledging the technical mastery required to construct the complex object, teapots have played a vital role in the conversation between art and craft, form and function.
