Celebrating The Mug

Cape Fear Studios announces our new exhibit, “Celebrating the Mug.”  The exhibit will be on display April 26-May 21, 2024 in the Cape Fear Studios main gallery, 148 Maxwell Street, Fayetteville, NC.

“We are hoping to show how an ordinary vessel, The Mug, can be elevated by each potter’s creativity and skill into a piece of art enriching the life of its owner.  The way it fits the user’s hand as they drink their morning tea or coffee, and the joy that comes from the way the decoration has been applied to its surface, turns an ordinary vessel into an artistic experience.  We feel this work will illustrate the joy and importance of “The Mug.”  Jill Dieffenbach, curator

This exhibit showcases the mugs of Mark Hewitt, Gay Smith Bakersfield, Tammy Josephson, Leah Leitson, and Ray Im.

Please come in to view the art and join us on Fourth Friday, April 26 from 6-8 pm for our opening reception.

We hope to see you there!
