Tea Time

I've been in and out of the studio this week so pots are taking forever to dry and take to the next stage. I got the teapots and lids trimmed this morning and threw some spouts. I'll probably start connecting all the parts tomorrow.

After lunch I'm headed back in to trim some small jars and lids and then I'm off to my class!

Teapot spouts have always been more difficult for me to throw and take my complete concentration or if I'm not careful, I'll lose it as I'm collaring it in. Some good tunes and a good cup of tea nearby certainly helps get through. After throwing I give them a little bend on the wheel after drying them slightly with a heatgun.

Have a great day!

Yes , spouts without pots look lonely or odd. Can't wait to see them on the pots.
