Over 200 cups have arrived from across the country and Japan. The Simple Cup Show has generated a tremendous amount of interest in Seattle and the Northwest over the last 7 years. The opening is much anticipated, 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.
