Loving Cups: Glass for Thought and Use ♿

This exhibition spotlights the glass cup. Used daily and chosen deliberately, cups are among the most mundane and most personal objects we use. Loving Cups brings together contemporary glass artists from our region to interpret a deceptively simple form, offering a rare survey of the range and diversity of vision within our glass community.
