Making a Handbuilt Slab Teapot - Rounding a Cylinder, Making a Spout, Hollow Handle, L

This video is a demonstration of Making a Teapot with A Collar From Soft Slabs- Rounding a Cylinder, Making a Spout, Hollow Handle, Lid, and Footring- (intermediate to advanced). I am using a soft slab which I texture in this video- but of course, you can make it without texture. My ceramics II students have a textured slab set project for which this technique really lends itself. The following link is a PDF of a photo of the patterns. The dimensions are written on most of the patterns. The patterns will be on an 8.5x11” document, but you can enlarge it to make it whatever size you want. As I recommend in the video, I suggest that if you have not done soft slab building previously, that you start with something a bit easier- like a cup or a bowl to learn the basics of this method of construction before you try something more advanced with so many multiple parts like the teapot. Here are a couple of videos here
