Baltimore Clayworks is pleased to announce a call for entries for Teapots XI, our annual exhibition celebrating the creativity, innovation, and craftsmanship of contemporary teapot makers. This national juried show invites ceramic artists to submit functional and sculptural teapots that explore form, surface, and concept.
All interpretations of the teapot are welcome, from traditional to avant-garde. Selected works will be exhibited in our gallery and available for purchase.
Submitted work must have been created within the last two years and have not been exhibited at Baltimore Clayworks. Open to any form of functional or sculptural object or installation, and clay must be the primary material. Enter up to three (3) pieces. All exhibited work must be for sale and available for the duration of the exhibition. Original accepted work only and no substitution.
Submit up to three(3) pieces and up to two(2) images of each piece. (Other images are not considered, or your application will be disqualified.) Images should be in square format; 2000×2000 pixels of 300 dpi as JPEG/JPG. Gray or white background. No text or other distracting objects/background on images. Each file name must be labeled with the artist’s three initials in the order: LAST, FIRST, MIDDLE (use “X” if no middle initial) and the corresponding number from your entry. (ex. Arther Clay Potter would be “PAC1.jpg”) If you submit alternative or close shot of the same work, you should label the images with “a” (ex. “PAC1a.jpg”. Only one alternative image per piece is permitted.) Baltimore Clayworks reserves the right to photograph work and uses the submitted images of accepted pieces for the purpose of publicity, promotion, education and documentation in printed materials, website and social media.
$30 for up to three pieces
In the case of sale, 50% of the retail price will be paid to the artist, and 50% goes to the gallery. Artist is responsible to shipment/delivery of the accepted work.
