Students are working on artful teapots. They will choose a form of clay manipulation (pinch, coil or slab) that works best with the design of their pots. They will be working with some new clay concepts: handles, spouts and lids; and will be designing a teapot that doesn't look like a traditional teapot. It may be different in shape (maybe it looks like a hershey's kiss or a kitten), in texture (it may look as if it is made of wood or leather), or in color (it may have a full portrait painting on the outside or an elaborate design painted in undercolors).Each student will make a matching cup, and we will have a tea party with our pots and cups on the last day of class.
In past years we've had teapots shaped as presents, dragons, pigs, candy, money and houses. I look forward to seeing this year's selections.
