Ceramic Tree Teapot 2

This was also one of the teapots that I did in the series based on trees. It was the last one I made and I decided to treat it as more of a canvas for creating a landscape of trees. I enjoy the process of using slip to lighten the clay body. This was one of the first few pieces I experimented with slipping and then adding color on top. This process felt like painting.

Ceramic Tree Teapot

This is one of the teapots that I made for a series dealing with the idea of trees.  It was the first one I invisioned. I saw this as more of the literal interpretation of a tree. It was the first in the series.
