Yixing Teapots, measure about 5-7”, are unglazed, and vary from traditional to avant-garde shapes. We’ll be making Yixing inspired teapots, with the option of making mini teacups and a serving tray as well. In this workshop, you’ll learn the basic techniques that are the foundation of clay handbuilding: coils, slabs, pinch pots, and the pulling of handles for the teapots.We'll also cover joining techniques and using slip.

You can use your imagination and make fanciful forms, or the traditional Yixing teapots, taking on plant or animal shapes. Take a look at www.Yixing.com to fire up your imaginations and begin sketching out your ideas. We’ll have examples to show you too.

We will bisque fire your creations for you and you can pick them up at later date. Or, you might like to sign up for the Glazing workshop on March 20, when we will learn glazing tricks, using non-toxic food and beverage safe glazes.
