Close to 200 cups have arrived from the Northwest, around the country and from Japan.  The Simple Cup Show has been generating a tremendous amount of interest in Seattle and in the Northwest over the last six years.  The opening is much anticipated, well attended, with patrons getting in line to get first chance at the offerings.  Visits to see the show continue through the month of December.   For many, it is their first opportunity to see the variety of work of many nationally and internationally renowned ceramic artists.  

 
This year the Simple Cup has been curated by Peter Olsen, and guest curator, Tom Hoffman and KOBO Gallery, celebrating artists in the Northwest and Japan. The show will run from November 12-through December 10, 2010.  All artists are invited to send in 2 cups for the show.

This year a portion of the sales will go to help the Mashiko potters, many of whom lost kilns and studios during the recent earthquake. Donations will go to the Mashiko Foundation.
