How I Make a Handmade Teapot Without Pottery Wheel - A Pinch Teapot Tutorial

They say making a teapot is one of the big leaps for a potter. And as a potter who has never tried making a teapot before, I think I agreed. The process is quite complicated because of its elements; the lid, spout, handle, and not to mention the teapot body itself.
Since this is my first time, there might be some errors along the process. So I apologize if this video is not a perfect tutorial for you because I'm learning too. But I hope that you can still learn a lot from this video. Enjoy!

We do not need perfection. We want to see what you make. How you make it with your hands. The raw version of your process. That makes your videos personal and unique. Thats how you connect with people on the internet. ❤️

[@milvaedintorni682]

It looks great. Thank you for sharing. (I think the sprout should be a little bit higher, because the water you’ll pouring in the teapot will come out and you can’t fill the whole pot)

[@SadurStudio]

Totally agreed! My mom told me the same thing too after she saw the teapot. Surely will do that next time. Thank you 💛

[@plantton6119]

This is underrated ):

[@mariafletcher6603]

There is just something special when you make any with your own hands. the time. effort. and love. and the end results. makes it that much more special. luv the tea pot and cups. I did pottery at school. I'm gonna start doing it again next year. from 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal

I am enjoying the videos very much. I teach handbuilding..soft slab techniques mostly. Thank you and stay well and keep potting. Your work is beautiful.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

That’s a sweet little pot! I have always heard that the spout needs to come up to where the highest level the water will be inside the pot. Otherwise, when you fill the pot, it will run out the spout. Hope that helps🐝❤️🤗

[@SadurStudio]

Oh thank you so much! I will totally try it when the next time I make teapot 🤗❤

[@cindyduts6486]

A friend asked me to build him a teapot and I freaked out a bit 😬 Never done that before. But you video gave me the courage to start 😊 Well … I will start after Christmas holiday as I have a lot of other orders to finish .. I am a bit too stressy now 😉 Thanks!!

[@daniellaamit6912]

I was watching some of your videos and am really enjoying your process and style....but most of all I am enjoying the atmosphere of your work and pottery making. Thank you from a potter in Victoria, Canada

[@TariHuffaker]

This is a lovely idea. May I suggest a smaller spout placed hight on the body of the pot...maybe even with a stronger angle? Where it is on this pot...it won't hold much tea. I love your style. Please keep sharing.

[@dennystewart3238]

Thank you for sharing your process. I love that you left the texture in your teapot. My only suggestion would be to either put your spout higher or tilt it up at a sharper angle so you can put more water in the pot. I can't wait to try your method for myself! I doubt that my teapot will look as nice as yours though.

[@SadurStudio]

Thank you so much for your suggestions! Will do better for the next teapot. 🤗

I love your videos. Would love to know how you film them?

[@gabriellathompson1131]

may I ask, how long did this process take you? I know the overnights and waiting for things to dry probably adds so much to the time, but I was just curious! Your work is so beautiful and calm, and helpful to someone new to potter; thank you!

[@vderful9932]

so so so pretttyyyyy want to ask u how did u made ur glaze? its so cool

[@berlinbalconygarden]

What a great video! Do you know the name of this pink banding wheel? I'm looking for a similar one. Thank you :)

[@SadurStudio]

Hi! I remember to use 'cake turntable' as the keyword when I first purchased it. :)

[@kubragurbyk4275]

Hi! First of all it looks so good, thank you so much to share it with us. I just start to interest with this art. This is my future plan to do it because I need to start with more basic things but I want to ask something. When this pot dry, if you put inside any water, milk etc, something not happen? Or after dry do you do something to keep shape like a rock. Because I watched some videos people use water during the process to give shape. I couldnt catch if you do any bake or varnish process.

[@SadurStudio]

Hi! Thank you for watching my video✨ Once the pot is dry, I will fire it first to keep the shape, because if not, the shape would be broken and turned into clay again if you pour any liquid inside. Then, about using water, you'll need plenty of water if you're using wheel-throwing technique to give shape, but if you use hand-building technique like me, water will make it hard to shape. So it depends on how which technique you use. Hope this reply answer your questions! 😊

[@keithwong7031]

do i need that pink wheel base?

[@jahdestamuzik9145]

Do you fire your pieces? please advise, I really want to learn this art

[@SadurStudio]

Yes, I fire them. But I just didn't show the firing process in the video.

Hi I’m starting out in pottery, would this be too challenging?

[@SadurStudio]

Hi! As your first attempt, I would recommend you to try a bowl and a mug first. They might seem easy but you can learn so many things by making them. I have made those tutorials too! 😊

[@BismarkVillanueva]

Can you upload the original video without music?

Você só cometeu um erro, o bico dessa chaleira está muito para baixo, lobo Você não poderá colocar muito chá. O bico tem que estar sempre na altura da borda das chaleiras. Fora isto, ótimo trabalho.
