Contest:
For centuries, the pleasure of tea has
been captured through paintings, illustrations, ceramics,
photography, and many other mediums. The
Artful Teapot Exhibit is a good example of the use of different
artwork mediums dating hundreds of years back to the present. Many
painters, some of which are, Tingqua, Chinnery, Cassat, Hassam, all
contributed to the history of tea through their artwork. The
Chinese were responsible for developing the art form of porcelain,
which they first traded with the British. Later, the British
potters went on to develop their own form of china, most notably,
Wedgewood china. And there are hundreds of photographs today that
capture the tranquility of tea.
Now it’s time
to get creative! Whatever your specialty is, drawing, pottery,
knitting, photography, craftwork--we would like you to capture the
tea inspired moment you’ve enjoyed, while sipping a cup of The Cozy
Tea Cart’s tea. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. We only
ask that you incorporate our tea into your artwork medium.
A picture of your artwork submission will be published in our December,
2006 newsletter. The January and February 2007 newsletters
will have a link to your artwork picture on our web site.
All submissions should be delivered to
The Cozy Tea
Cart, 40 Mountain Rd.,
