Artist statement
This is my first year taking ceramics and I decided to make a teapot. I got inspiration from traditional japanese tea sets with the simple cups and wide based pots. I made the cups from rounded cylinders and the spout on the wheel. The base was a wide cylinder that I closed in to make the shape. I scored and slipped everything on and let it sit over the weekend before I fired it. I chose a vibrant blue and brown glaze combo and they couldn't of come out more perfect. I can’t wait to take ceramics next year.
