In this 3-hour session, you will explore the art of shaping a teapot by hand. Working with high-temperature stoneware and the coil technique, we will focus on form, balance, and the quiet dialogue between object and gesture.

From the body to the spout and lid, you will design and begin to build your own teapot an object created slowly, with attention and care.

A moment to work with earth, understand form, and experience the beauty of making an object meant to be used and lived with.
