Teapots

on more than one occasion a bamboo handle is antithetical to a more contemporary scheme but it would fit so nicely in a piece inspired by this bad boy. - really like the various aspects of this teapot and how they work together. truly nutty


the piece below was actually made by my cousin allison. i've been diggin it since i saw the facebook picture. although it's not really contemporary i feel like it's a super solid form and if need be, additional handbuilding can happen


the glaze is insane, form awzm.


this one's definitely not so modern, but it's a realistic goal.. and i've realized in ceramics that maybe choosing a less ambitious project will lead to better results.



HUGE fan of the form, not the biggest on the carving work though. i feel like this one really captures where i want to go in terms of contemporary-ness but working a bamboo handle would be a bit of a thinker
