Last year, We had a discussion ,about tea pots, utilitarian, and un,,,, . I
took part in that thread.
After talking, I felt I should make at least one! I mean not only talk, but
also work. In a nervous restless country like mine, people don't drink tea,
at
least not as a ceremony.We drink coffee a lot, to be more nervous!
Well, I opened Richard Zakin's book, of hand forming, I printed from Mel's
site his Tea pot,looked at it, got some advises from Zakin's book and made
the first tea pot that did not arrive to the
trash can. Don't worry mel from a competition, at the most, see me as a
virtual
student!
I bought and added a cane handle.
I tried before to make my own,did not succeed.
Without this handle,could be
A) a breakable handle, when breaks, you dump the whole piece.
B) This tea pot,no matter how hard you worked on, looks like a pot, that's
all, a piece of wood makes the whole thing!
