a bunch of teapots glazed

I just had the kiln opening. This is always an exciting event, because there are always surprises. Good ones and bad ones. This time it worked out good and all the teapots made it.

Here they are.

 

 

 

More of  what came out of the kiln in the next blogs.

a whole bunch of tea pot's

Looking at all the wacky tea pots somehow got me started to make more. Now that I'm all excited about it I'll keep going and make more. Since my mind is so strongly on that I might as well post it, even it's raw und unglazed.

on the wacky side

To create a tea pot with fitting cups is always a fun assignment. There are thousands of wonderful examples out there. Here is a little wacky one that I made a while ago. It has potential.

 

 

 

 

Here are some really good one's.

The Pitcher

I think that one came out really well and I hope a lot of people think so too. It goes with all my cups (surprisingly) and it creates a great platform for my glazes. This one especially because the reduction that you can create with a gas kiln shows up here very beautiful.

 

 

Personalize!

Have your business name and logo on your cup. Like the "solo tango". That's the wine that made it to 1st place on last years blind wine tasting competition in the Valle de Guadalupe, the wine region in Baja. Find out more about the wine maker here.

 

Do you want your logo on a mug? Send me a e-mail or see samples on my website.
