Teapots Again, and They're Fun to Make
I haven't made teapots in several years. Starting from a class assignment, in a handbuilding class I took this spring, I've rediscovered the fun of these shapes.
They're not so hard to make anymore. Teapots are a standard challenge for beginning potters, lots of parts to make and relate; I'm past that stage. Here's what the latest ones look like.
That one's just a picture; I put runny glaze on the top (that brown plus white combination) and sealed the top to the pot above the spout. Maybe I'm not past the stage of having difficulty with teapots.
I'm liking their friendly roundness, with a bit of cute.
Want to see some inspiring teapots, not my doing?
If you want cuteness, these two have it. And the ones in the next picture are definitely art, in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
So much to try!
