Throwing A Teapot for One on the Potter’s Wheel

This week, I'm creating a small teapot, a recreation of a shape I made recently that I really liked. I cover the throwing of the miniature components, the trimming of parts and finally the assemblage, attaching the spout and pulling the fine handle, all before carving and carefully finishing the vessel a few days later. I need to push myself to make more of these, and in larger batches, as I always adore the process.

Let me know what you think and thanks as always for watching!
