Join us for a tour of the exhibition Hot! & Ready to Serve: Celebrating Functional Ceramics with Executive Director Beth Ann Gerstein. Go behind the scenes and learn about the traditions, influences, and inspirations that contributed to this exciting exhibition.
Hot! & Ready to Serve explores the rich tradition of
functional ceramics—objects created for the rituals of daily life.
Throughout history, these objects have connected us through the
universal experiences of gathering, preparing, and sharing food and
drink. This exhibition celebrates ceramic objects’ dual roles as utilitarian
tools and expressions of cultural and personal identity. From humble
tea bowls to elaborate dinnerware, functional ceramic pieces fulfill our
practical needs while bringing beauty, good design, and well-crafted
objects into our lives.
Hot! & Ready to Serve is on view in the Armstrong Gallery through September 28, 2025.
