It's a teapot in the making!
It's a silly one, I know. I made a closed form and then added a cylinder.
Those are just some techniques I wanted to try after seeing a very sophisticated teapot on Pinterest that looked (to my rookie eyes) like it was made that way.
My instructor thinks it was hand built and I believe her. That teapot was the inspiration for me to try these techniques out, I wasn't really trying to re-make it.
No surprise that in my hands, the attempt at a beautiful, organic inspiration turned into a silly whistling bird wearing a hat. Maybe the ash glaze will make it more elegant.
Time will tell. I keep checking my email to see when the glaze fire will be finished. I'm trying to be patient but that's not my strong suit.
Will keep you posted!
