Why a cup of Chinese tea is never full. We love this explanation of the philosophy of "small fullness" or "Xiaoman".

Along with learning to slow down, do be present, we can incorporate the idea of small fullness.

EAT/ART @ Tipton Ashe is also FEATURING 👉

KATIE MURPHY - creates work that asks the question of what happens when we allow ourselves to expand.

JEN OTEY - creates pieces that often tell a story about a day I experienced in the forest and fields around the region where she lives.

ERIC DRUMMOND SMITH - describes his creation process: “I talk to myself, and the paint, mumbling and cussing and singing off-tune. I stain my hands and clothes in ink and paint, glorious battle-scars.”

AMANDA SPRINKLE - creates basketry that draws ideas from traditional forms, pictures, and conversations with friends and family.
..and these are just SOME of the fabulous artists who appear at Tipton-Ashe!
