Past Work - Teapotty

			Most artisans work in a particular material and use making processes they’ve spent many hours perfecting. The objects they make vary. In this project, I’ve done the exact opposite. I’ve made the same everyday object, a teapot, over and over again without varying its shape and size (with some artistic licence) I’ve done this in a series of “unsuitable” materials that I’ve had little or no experience in using This has taken me into uncharted territory on the making front, calling on me to be adventurous, devise innovative solutions, learn new skills and push boundaries At present, a cabinet of 10 of teapots (pictured) is on display in the HQ Building in Plymouth. Previously it was at Borringdon Hall, Plymouth. A further teapot, made from eggshells, was on display at the Boston Tea Party cafe, also in Plymouth. Please scroll down to see a photo of each teapot together with a link to a page on how it was made.
