"Tree-pot"

Yeah! Boom! Very excited about this one! Yeeeaah! I love the handle. I was looking through my newest pottery magazine and loved a few pieces that had super intricate carvings.  Anyways, i got inspired and ran down to my new studio and got started. I threw the pieces and when it was time to assemble i cut some extra clay off a few pieces and gathered them into a long, rough coil.  I loved how this looked and decided to turn it into a handle.  This handle looks like a cool branch and it inspired my leaf carvings. I also love the lid.  It fits great and works well with the form. Yay!

10 min teapot!!!

I was moving this weekend and beginning of the week, and had to leave by thursday for a three day show...soooo this week was a bit rushed.  Moving a ceramic studio is crazy talk. It was heavy to say the least. And im in mid production so i had bone dry pieces all the way to freshly thrown pieces...it was stressful moving everything. So i wanted to make a ten min teapot for this weeks teapot. Heres a video taken by the talented Hannah Thompson (my lil sister). Enjoy!

Duality

Duality: a duel state or quality. This teapot was half made in my old studio and half in my new one! This teapot does have a duel quality in that sense. This weekend was moving weekend and this teapot, with the swirls, explains how ive felt the past two days. :) kinda cool that its the first think made in this studio!

Handbuilt teapot

This teapot was definitely influenced by my students in a hand building class I am teaching. They are not afraid and don't hold back. :) this is why I love teaching!!!

Tea light teapot

This teapot was inspired by a special order im working on for a customer. The base holds a lit tea light and that little flame Keeps your tea warm!

I threw the teapot like a bottle, the spout was the rim of the bottle. Then sat it on its side and added a base. I am going to expand on the bottle/teapot idea. Its fun and I like the idea of this continuous line. I like the lid, it looks like a hat!
