Third Teapot Attempt
Hello fellow Internet dwellers,
Worm Ceramics here again.
I'm on my third teapot and I'm here to update that progress has been looking really good thus far.
No hairline cracks yet!
So, I threw on the wheel as usual. Still having trouble gaining height, which is why my teapots are quite squat in shape.
This one will be a bit bigger than what I intended. I'm really inspired by Chinese and Japanese teapots, I love the compact, bulbous and squash shapes that they normally possess.
Anyways, I took a chance and trimmed the teapot at the studio while he was probably still too wet, but I was delicate with the pressure and only lost control of the needle tool momentarily when I was trimming the outside of the lid.
So, took him back to my house, pulled the handle, fluted the body, decorated the lid, and am quite content with the outcome of how he's looking.
Will bring him into the studio tomorrow to dry out some more and hopefully be bisque fired this week!
Love,
