Wednesday 18th February – Saturday 18th April Installation of 1000 Tear Bottles by Deborah Tompsett, Artist and Ceramicist There is an ancient tradition of ‘Tear Bottles’ ranging from their use by the ancient Greeks to references in the Bible. Tear-shaped vessels would be carried by pilgrims as they journeyed and in the Victorian era tear bottles surfaced again as a popular icon of grief and grieving – during funerals for example, mourners would capture their tears to assist their mourning. Made in a traditional way on a potter’s wheel, these tear bottles vary in size and each of the thousand bottles has its own distinct individuality. Free entry.
