I went to the exhibition on Sunday and really enjoyed it. What an amazing array of different themes, designs, styles and artists! It was great to see so many mugs in person that I've only seen previously in photographs. The size of some of them surprised me. Da Big Kahuna Outrigger Set, for example. I was picturing a little boat with little shot-glass-sized tiki mugs inside. Not so. The thing is the size of a small table! It's really décor rather than glassware. I wasn't expecting that. If you go, be sure to buy the excellent accompanying compendium. All the Tiki Farm products are listed in chronological order including dates, colors and artists. The items represented in the exhibit are indicated. Selected mugs have photographs and histories. It's all full-color, glossy paper, very well done. I bought the compendium on my way out. In retrospect, one should buy it on the way in and use it while looking at the exhibit. The show runs through November 29 so there's still time to go. Admission is free. The compendium is $5. |
