Gather Round
Gather Round is a November exhibition at the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Scope Gallery, presented by the Kiln Club. The show is built around communal gathering, hospitality, and works for the table, with serving pieces handmade by local ceramic artists. In the exhibition’s own framing, these are objects meant to bring warmth and artistry to a Thanksgiving table: deep bowls suited for mashed potatoes, graceful platters for roasted turkey, and other creations designed with both function and festivity in mind. The work reflects the spirit of gathering, emphasizing handmade items meant to be shared, passed around, and cherished, and the show serves as an invitation to celebrate gratitude, tradition, and the handmade touch that turns a meal into an occasion.
The exhibition is on view from November 2 through November 29, 2026, with daily gallery hours from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission pricing is not listed, so visitors should contact the gallery directly for ticket or entry information. The Torpedo Factory Art Center is generally open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., but it is closed on Thanksgiving, so anyone planning to visit during the run should account for that closure.
