STEEP

                 A Teapot Show? How Steep of Him.The last thing many of Scott Bennett's contemporaries in clay thought
                 he'd ever do was stage a teapot show at his Red Dot Gallery in Birmingham, Alabama. After all, as a mid-

                -career potter, he freely admits to teasing them about their fondness of the vessel, repeatedly asking,

                "Why just the teapot? Aren't there other things to make?" But time has softened his stance. "Years later,

                 I've come to associate and appreciate the teapot as a subject matter to ceramics not unlike the figure to

                 drawing," he says. "And while I respect its function, the teapot now seems to me to represent more than

                 its use."

                 Hence, his upcoming show, cheekily titled "Steep: An Exhibit of Teapots from Ceramic Artists Working in

                 the South," features Scott and 18 more (surprised and presumably gratified) artists from seven states.
                 Among them: Fong Choo, Louisville, KY; Tony Wright, Mobile, AL; Tim Sullivan, Marietta, GA; Steve Loucks

                 and Lynette Hesser, Jacksonville, AL; Virginia Scotchie, Columbia, SC; Paveen Chunhaswasdikul, Gadsden,
                 AL; Chris Greenman, Montgomery, AL; Connor Burns, Natchez, MS; Suzie Bowman, Fairhope, AL; Mark Knott,

                 Suanee, GA; Juan Granados, Lubbock, TX; M. L. Carter, Ruston, LA; Bradley Birkhimer, Manassas, VA; and Dori   

                 DeCamillis, Doug Balous, Janice Kluge and Adam Sterrett, Birmingham, AL.
