  2. Parts of a Teapot Body: Lid: Foot: Handle: Spout:

  3. Objectives • Research tea pots through time – review both conceptual and traditional designs • Implement planning - determine appropriate hand building techniques to use for construction • Design lid/handle and spout to be part of the overall design as well as function like a tea-pot - design an original teapot • Utilize additive and subtractive sculpture methods • Select aesthetically pleasing glazes/and or under glazes • Demonstrate craftsmanship in forming and glazing.

  4. Procedures • Brainstorm ideas - write down objects that are meaningful to you to use as inspiration for teapot design. • Make several thumbnail sketches of ideas - select one to enlarge and sketch in more detail. Develop a plan using hand building techniques. • An easy way to make body of pot is using draped slab pressed inside a bowl. Using a rolling pin and wooden slats, roll out even slabs to use for construction. Each slab must be slipped and scored. Make body with slab - coil or pinch method. • Create base of teapot before adding strainer, spout and foot. • Form lid to fit into top of base - and mesh with design (without falling in). • Use thin straw to make strainer holes in body before attaching spout. • Finish by adding interesting details that fit chosen theme. Use additive and subtractive techniques to add details. Handle and spout must add to the theme. • Smooth all cracks and rough areas with a damp sponge before letting it dry out. • Extra Credit: • Make two teacups/ mugs that relate to your teapot
