edited by my lovely beaux fils andré rodrigues - a quick romp through the many phases of making a teapot - throwing pot, spout, and lid, drying, turning, assembling, adding handle, decorating, firing once, glazing, firing again - and finally using!

to mark refugee week 2021 i made 22 little pots selling them for £20 each - planted up with succulents - all money raised went to DAR darlington assistance for refugees - a local charity supporting asylum seekers and refugees - all pots were pre-sold within a few days

a time lapse showing the throwing of one of my  medium bowls - takes about 7 minutes in real time

a time lapse of throwing 'off the hump' a big lump of clay - a quick way to make a lot of small pieces
