First post. I made a teapot today. My first. I have to admit that I don't know a lot about making teapots, but thanks to instructional You Tube videos and a number of "how to" books, I managed to finish it! The good news is everything fit! The lid fits beautifully, which truthfully, was the thing I struggled with the most. I see a few things that could be improved upon and I've had a few critiques, which I appreciate. The knob on the lid is a little bit large...phallic looking, my daughter tells me (egads!)...and the handle might be just a little small in proportion to the pot itself, but all in all, I think it looks pretty neat and tidy. I suppose that the true test will be pouring a pot full of tea.
But for now, I need to decide how to finish it...sgraffito? mishima? a magnificent glaze (arrggh....I know so little about glazing!).
I love your tea pot. As I said I started pottery in about 1996 to make one. I still have not.
ReplyDeleteI do love your banner pics the bowls are stunning. Love the design and texture. Lovely touch with the word eat.
