Clayhouse Brooklyn invites you to join our show, Tableware Reimagined: Place Settings of Brooklyn, for the annual Brooklyn Ceramic Arts Tour, juried by Julie Knight.

This competition is open to all Brooklyn-based ceramic artists and celebrates the timeless necessity of tableware and the beauty of everyday objects. Artists are encouraged to submit their unique vision of a place setting, functional or sculptural. Up to eight pieces can be included in the setting as long as they all fit within the designated space. Does your setting include candlesticks, salt and pepper shakers, ceramic utensils? It’s all up to you.
