Tea Pot Project Planner

Topics investigated: How to use multiple techniques in one project to create a successful set?

  • How can I make a good teapot?
    • How will I make the spout, handle, and other parts? 
  • How will I use wax resist to create a design for surface decoration? 
My reflection:
I referenced the "Expression Clay" textbook and other sources in the creation of my teapot. I used the wheel to create the base and then used handbuilding techniques to create the spout, handle, and lid and attach everything. If I was doing the project again, I might make the tea pot a little bigger. But the size was satisfactory for what I was trying to achieve with a simple look. I made the cups for the set on the wheel to be simple in a similar way. 

Next I will update with the progress of surface decoration for the pieces in my project!
