Wheel thrown stoneware teapot with sculpted faces, wood + soda fired.
A psychedelic teapot with elegant proportions. A great conversation starter and display piece.
Functional for serving tea but cannot be put on a heat source/ stovetop burner.
The reduction kiln atmosphere pulled some really nice earth tones out of the glazes on the spout/lid/handle.
Slip Decoration
Slip trailing is the process of using liquefied clay to "pipe" designs onto the work, similar to decorating a cake. Once fired, the slip fuses to the piece, helping to create an interactive surface for the glaze. Transforming the otherwise flat surface - to dimensional and full of intrigue.
