The AKAR Yunomi Invitational show opens this Friday, May 15th at 10:00am Central.
It is that time of year again. We participate annually in AKAR Design's Yunomi invitational show and sale of over 1,030 Yunomi, 5 Yunomi's each from 206 artists. This show is a potters and collector's delight of all kinds of imaginative functional cups to drink from, and to have on display in your home.
Cups are the potter's form that puts Art into your hands, You can touch it, feel it, look at it, and drink from it.
For the seventh consecutive year, artists have elected to donate portions of their sales to The Studio Potter Magazine, a non-profit organization dedicated to all things clay. Of the 206 participating artists, 139 individuals are donating cups for a total of 245 yunomi sales benefiting this worthy periodical!
If you are new to this event, you should be aware that the sales are online only, and one should register ahead of time at AKAR because 60% of the exhibition sells out within the first hour.
Yunomi (U-know-me)- A form of teacup, typically made of ceramic material, being taller than wide, with a trimmed or turned foot. Unlike the more formal chawan tea bowl which is used during the Japanese tea ceremony, the Yunomi tea bowl is made for daily (or informal) tea drinking.
