Julia Smith Nipple Cup

Julia Smith is an emerging artist pursuing a BFA in VCUarts Craft and Material Studies program. She is in her senior year concentrating in metal/jewelry working with her primary focus in hollowware and forming techniques. She grew up on the outskirts of Chapel Hill, North Carolina  in the countryside so a majority of her work stems from inspiration of the natural world around us as well as reflections of the human condition. 

We are thrilled to host this work as a part of our 2026 Cup Show!
