To make a teapot that pours a strong hot stream of tea into a cup without spilling is a dream for many potters. Tea drinkers do not appreciate it when a lid drops down while pouring the tea or if hot tea spatters in all directions.

There is something special about teapots and that may be the reason why there are so many dedicated teapot collectors. It is probably the most challenging object for many potters but at the same time also the object that carries the most visual language.

During this online class, we will examine different techniques to help us make good functional teapots and will guide students into the mysterious world of teapot collections.

We will discuss teapots as a means of expression.
