Just about everyone needs a coffee cup, a bowl or a plate for food. Why not have one of these pieces that is artistic, unusual and unique?
The exhibit “Functional Ceramics 2021” at the Ohio Craft Museum showcases nearly 90 pieces by 16 national and international artists. Their platters, bowls, jars, mugs and vases are handsome, often surprising and beautifully crafted. Each of the 16 artists — from throughout the United States and Canada — is represented with five or six pieces that are singularly individualistic but complementary as a set.
The annual exhibit is co-presented by the Ohio Designer Craftsmen (which operates the Craft Museum) and the Wayne Center for the Arts in Wooster, where the exhibit normally takes place. This year, because of the pandemic, “Functional Ceramics” moved to the Ohio Craft Museum where it can be seen in person or online.
