About the Teapot
Teapots are absolutely my favorite form to make. Starting with an enclosed form on the wheel allows me to play with a buoyant form – the clay tolerates a little stretch and pull while still a bubble. Adding the spout, knob, and handle in varying positions completely changes the character of the pot. I find teapot week to be the most engaging part of my practice.
