Throwing the Parts to Make a Teapot

This week's video is all about throwing the different components needed to create a teapot on the potter's wheel. Starting with the angular body, then the quickly thrown lid and finally a little group of spouts, made in multiples so I have some options when everything is assembled. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch.

My wadding recipe is: 50% china clay/kaolin, 50% coarse alumina hydrate. Mix together slowly and then combine with water very slowly, as it seems to turn to a liquid very easily, so add less than you think.

The gas kiln is a Rohde KG-340, my potter's wheel is a Rohde HMT 500 and my electric kiln is a Rohde TE-200.

Thanks for watching!
