Here are two slab teapots constructed at my recent workshop at Lower Columbia College.

I’ll be posting the thicknesses and measurements of slabs to use, as well as the measurements for individual components. There will be step-by-step photos of each stage of the construction so that you can incorporate these techniques into your own way of working with clay.

These teapots were textured with latex mats that I created myself from hand-textured bisque slabs. This process really lets you make the finished piece your own in a manner that using purchased texture mats simply cannot.
