Trying to make a teapot based on your video now! Thank you!!

Good luck with your tea pot(s). Every time you make one try it and learn how to improve it next time. Have fun with the teapot challenge!

This is a really wonderful video. I really appreciate you explaining what you’re doing and why.

[@richardmccoll9297]

Thank you, I really appreciate you watching.

[@janiceblair9558]

You’ve inspired me once again. I’ve only ever made two teapots, but I’m going to try making several components and see what looks best together.

[@richardmccoll9297]

I hope that they come out well for you.

Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind some of your actions/choices.

[@richardmccoll9297]

You are welcome. I hope my experiences can help and guide you.

random question: I presume you're right handed, how come you have your water bowl on the left hand side?

Is the clay body Coleman porcelain?

[@richardmccoll9297]

These are made with BMix with grog from Laguna clay. My favorite porcelain is Babu porcelain. I found Coleman porcelain tends to flux more and warp more when fired to cone 10+.
