Teapots

Class Description

Taught by Brian Weissman

8 Week Class (MEETS ONCE A WEEK ON FRIDAY EVENINGS)

Learn how to create a functional teapot!

The focus of this class will be on sheet metal forming, raising, pattern making, large scale fabrication and shell construction for spouts and handles. Students will learn anticlastic and synclastic forming techniques to create both traditional spouts and handles along with more modern and contemporary variations. Fitting and soldering components onto the body of the teapot will be covered.

Forming a teapot is an intensive process that benefits from working outside of class time to make the most progress. 

This is an intermediate class: basic jewelry fabrication skills, including soldering and torchwork, is required. Additionally, students must have raising and pattern making experince.

Class size 4 – 12 students.
