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.
