SIP: A Ceramic Cup Show is our Community's annual large scale cup show. The exhibition, took place February 17-25, 2017 at Non-Fiction Gallery (1522 Bull St.), featured over 200 functional, handmade ceramic mugs, yunomi and more from clay artists across the nation. Through this exhibition, we hope to show the diversity of a drinking vessel and allow visitors to become owners of hand-crafted ceramics. Proceeds benefited each artist, and a percentage of all sales were donated to the Emmaus House to help provide nourishment for the hungry in Savannah.
Each vessel in the show was be placed on its own individual shelf on the wall, crediting each piece for what it is–a work of fine art. During the closing reception, took the ceramics from the wall into the hands of the viewer to allow the customer to experience the functional aspect of the pieces. That night, all those who purchased cups or mugs were able to use them to sip tasty beverages and then take the pieces home.
