*Due to an invisible imperfection, this teapot is for display only. It cannot hold tea.
This teapot is part of a series of woman-handled teapots. The series is inspired by a number of personal insights that have influenced my own self-awareness. With this Peaceful Woman teapot, I wish for all of us to find the peace within us.
The teapot was made using mid-range clay and glazes. I began by throwing a hollow sphere on the pottery wheel. I then sculpt the general form and gesture of the figure. The rest of the tree-like handle is added and connected to the figure. This woody portion of the handle begins as a contorted piece of clay. I then accentuate the natural form of the clay while adding and sculpting to create more purposeful irregularity. The handle is complete when it is imperfectly perfect in its organic form. I then sculpt the details of her body and face. Her face is sculpted using tiny paintbrushes and a pin tool, carefully pushing tiny bits of clay around to create her facial features. I then add the spout in a shape that complements the rest of the piece. Again, there is more woody sculpting of the spout. I then cut out the lid, leaving it flush with the body of the teapot. The teapot is then bisque fired, followed by careful glazing to accentuate all her perfectly wonderful organic imperfections.
Dimensions: 6.5"H X 6.5"W X 5"D
Non-expedited shipping/transport within the United States is included in the price. I can usually ship within 3 days. If you are within the Seattle metro area, the piece can be hand-delivered.
