Across the works selected for “Revolutionary Teapots,” artists stretch, alter, fragment, embellish, and reinvent the traditional teapot form. Some remain closely tied to function. Others move toward sculpture.

Collectively, they reveal the teapot not as a fixed category, but as a site for experimentation and interpretation.

Opening Reception:  August 1st 4-6PM

Regional ceramic artists were invited to enter their interpretations of what it might mean
to be either a “Revolutionary” teapot (endowed with the forms, colors or symbols associated
with 1776 and our early history) or a “revolutionary” teapot (a vessel that defies norms or
stretches boundaries).

This exhibition unfolds within the grounds of Chesterwood, the home and studio of Daniel Chester French. On view August 1st.

August 1 - September 27
Opening Reception: August 1st 4-6PM
The Woodshed Gallery
Chesterwood, Stockbridge, MA

We’re excited to share an upcoming workshop focused on the process of making agateware ceramics, led by Philadelphia-based artist Mackenzie Pikaart:

Her work is rooted in memory, emotion, and the quiet rhythms of daily life. She creates functional pieces that reflect moments of introspection, using pigmented clay, form and texture to explore the space between solitude and connection. Other than making her personal work, Mackenzie produces a line of works for wholesale, is a ceramics educator and mentor to many in Philadelphia and beyond. Mackenzie received her BFA in Crafts / Ceramics through The University of the Arts in Philadelphia 2011. Makenzie is in the process of her next large solo installation, a 2000 dinnerware and home decor show about sets and finding place in our world at Foyer Gallery in Richmond VA, January - March 2027.

In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of agateware, including how to combine and manipulate colored clays to create layered, marbled surfaces.

Saturday, May 30, 2026
10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Lenox Community Center
65 Walker Street
Lenox, MA 01240

We hope you’ll join us for this special opportunity to learn from Mackenzie and engage with the unique possibilities of agateware ceramics. Register online at berkshirepotterscollective.org

Additionally, join us online May 12th from 5:30 to 6:30 for our next Virtual Clay Conversations! RSVP at berkshirepotterscollective.org
