Kentucky is famous, among other things, for its bourbon distillers and its craft artists. In 1997, we decided to combine the two into an exhibition called Bourbon Bottles. This exhibition was so well received, we are repeating the show this year.

We have invited ceramic and glass artists to create vessels in which to store and from which to dispense spirits, wine or other liquid refreshment. The only restriction is that they should be capable of being corked or have a tight fitting lid or cap, and nominally hold a standard measure of spirit (pint, fifth, quart etc).

Cheers!
