#13. Yikes. Such a nice shape and glaze — black double dipped over floating blue. But it's the double dipping that caused a problem: forgot to blow out the spout holes and they clogged up, therefore unusable.

#12. What a mess. I can never trust spearmint glaze (on stoneware). At least it opens.

50 Teapot Project Top: #10, unopenable (grr), seaworld on bisqued stoneware. Bottom: #11, yes! it's functional (lid lifts). Brushed cobalt wash over glossy white on earthenware.
I'm an artist and I teach art and ESOL. I paint, mostly, but also design and make books and calendars using my art and photography. I started pottering about 4 years ago and quickly became addicted. I started this blog, several years ago, as a record of my sketchbooks. Then I didn't post for a few years. This year I started up again with my painting-a-day project, which has become more of a painting-a-week. Then I decided to challenge myself to making ceramic teapots, just because a teapot is the hardest thing to do.
