Saturday Intermediate Pottery Workshop - Make a Teapot Course 20th/27th June

£140.00

Throw your own Teapot Course

Saturday 20th and 27th June 9.30-12.15pm

In this focused 2-day workshop you’ll design and make a wheel-thrown teapot from start to finish. Teapots are rewarding and technically demanding, combining several thrown pieces that must fit and work together.

Day 1: Throw the body, lid, spout and handle. Learn proportion, balance and practical design so parts form a cohesive pot. Suzanne will cover common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Day 2: When pieces are leather-hard, trim and assemble. You’ll attach and position spout and handle, refine the lid fit and adjust the spout for clean pouring without drips.

By the end you’ll have a finished, assembled teapot and practical skills for future functional work.

Duration: 2 days Includes: Earthenware clay, firings, Glazes and slips provided, but if you want a certain look to your teapot you would need to source from Bath Potters. Teapots will be fired to 1073 degrees.

Tutor: Suzanne Addicott

  • Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty

  • Class limited to 7 students

  • Participants must be 18 or over
