C-4 Thrown Teapots with Erin Furimsky

You will learn different techniques for throwing functional teapots. Erin will explain design considerations for teapots and techniques to make them as well as various ways to make and attach teapot spouts that do not drip or splatter during pouring. Erin will share a few ways to make handles that fit the design of the form and compliment all the elements of the teapot. You will learn how to make a lid that will not fall off from the teapot during pouring.

This 3 week class will focus on throwing the teapot body and putting all the parts together.

After 3 classes you should leave with 2 completed forms. No specific class time is set aside for glazing.
