Artist's Comments

This is the last tree teapot I will make for a long while. I cannot tell at all what I think about this one. It drooped a lot in the kiln, and it turned out a lot darker than I planned on.

Farewell to the teapot.

Your treepots are just utterly fantastic. I think the droop and darkness gives it the perfect feel of a sturdy old log in a rainy forest.

I understand that you had a (slightly?) different vision for it, but DAMN, that is The Awesome!( to use common vernacular, lol) What size is this one, and are these just class projects or are you selling them, or ....?

That is absolutely f***ing amazing! Not only does it look like real wood, but the patients and care needed to make it, with the possibility of breakage before firing, let alone afterwards!

lol, well thank you. I did have a different vision for it in a lot of small ways, but overall formally I feel it could be better. I used black and red iron oxide in a reduction cooling atmosphere for the color, which is why it is so black. I just didn't expect the blackness to be this extreme since the kiln I've been using the reduction cooling method on has been rather sketchy.

I'm glad that you like it though. This was a class project/art trade. I haven't sold any teapots, never really thought about it. Shipping them seems a little scary to me. I've done it, but there is no guarantee.
