"A Time for Tea"
This exhibition stems from Jamie Kirkpatrick's love for a morning routine of tea. The slow pour of the tea allows for a gentle awakening and much needed contemplation for the day. The many variations on the assemblage of parts for the teapot's design have maintained my continued interest in constructing their form. The joy of collecting and using other artists' teapots, teabowls and cups is the primary inspiration for this exhibition.
His teapots also showcase the use of mixed media inspired by the Native American carvings of the Pacific Northwest.
Jamie Kirkpatrick shows new work in soda/wood-fired vessels. Originally from North Carolina, he completed a residency program at Pottery Northwest. He will be leaving the Northwest in October to set up his pottery studio in Boulder, Colorado.

Born in Nagoya, Japan, Toshi Asai graduated from University of Washington with a B.S. in Physics and a B.F.A. in Painting in 2003. She currently works and lives in Seattle.
The body of work entitled, "Sakka Series I (Famous Japanese Writers)" features

still hold a special place in her practice and mindset today.
"After Surrealism exhausted all of its possible permutations,
it reemerged in Japan as anime and bounced back elsewhere as a delicate version of Pop with a punk twist." Regina Hackett 8/09
