The teapot provides endless possibilities for form and expression. This eight weeks stoneware workshop will be an opportunity to create your own narrative teapot or vessel.
We will spend five weeks working to hand-build a pot using slabs, coils and pinching techniques, then create fanciful functional spouts, lids that stay put, and handles that complement the form. Three weeks will be spent decorating.
Come to the class with some thoughts on a story you would like to tell. It can be something from life, a myth, a fiction or anything that captures your imagination.
This workshop is eight (3.5 hour) working sessions, plus a one-hour pick up day.
Student should bring:
- Apron
- Hand towel
- Story ideas/inspiration
