Teapots
Instructor: Sam Chung
Intermediate–Advanced | $400
Extended Weekend Workshop

This workshop will focus on the teapot and its history, function, and design. We will work toward bringing together all of the elements of this complex form with the goal of creating a balanced and thoughtful design. I will demonstrate various methods for making and assembling bodies, spouts, lids, and handles using both wheel throwing and slab construction. We will explore ways to bring together multiple forming processes within an individual teapot. Participants will be encouraged to develop or enhance their own designs through research, drawing, and experimentation.
