I’m a little teapot…

The FynArts Gallery was rather busy last week. On Tuesday Anina Lee’s book, What a Wonderful World! was launched at the gallery, along with an exhibition of the book’s original illustrations by Margie Crossman.
The following day the gallery was a hive of activity as the FynArts team helped curator Liz Coates to get it ready for the opening of their next exhibition, TimeOut.
This group exhibition of 20 ceramic artists represents a delightful collection of quirky, whimsical, utilitarian pieces that add joy to our everyday lives. The title, TimeOut, refers to an interlude, a pause or respite from the rush of daily life. This is captured by the tea party theme, with a variety of unique kettles, tea pots, milk jugs, sugar pots, plates and cups on display. In her opening address, Lillian Lloyd-Ellis referred to the nursery song, I’m a little teapot, short and stout… and posed the question: Why shouldn’t we pour our tea from something awesome?
Why not, indeed. Don’t miss out on enjoying these gorgeous ceramic artworks – and perhaps leaving with your own favourite cup or tea pot. You’ll find the FynArts Gallery in The Courtyard off Harbour Road (behind The Wine Glass).
