How to throw and trim a teapot, two types of lids, and a spout with assembly on the potter's wheel

- This video is for anyone who would like to see and learn about the process of throwing a teapot body, a teapot spout, two types of lids, and trimming and assembling it all to form a finished teapot. It is a comprehensive approach to creating a teapot through the greenware stage. I show two different styles of lids that are possible with this teapot. In the video, I throw a teapot body from a hunk of clay roughly 3 pounds. I then threw both spouts and lids from one hunk through the technique called "throwing off the hump". (Same technique I use on the miniature demo video)

II am a high school ceramics teacher and potter. I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 28 years, the past 20 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...
I started my RUclips channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!

Great and detailed explanation of the process. I took a ceramics class in college but I was never really interested, until I saw the many beautiful designs of teapots in particular, especially Chinese and Japanese variants.
You are a very good teacher and potter! Thank you for taking the time to help people.
Thanks, Maya! How kind of you! :-)

Thank you it was excellent
Thank you I love this video 💕
Awesome! I'm so glad! :-)
Karan, thanks for your very informative videos. I have a bat mate, and have been using it for a very long time. They are expensive but I do love them. I found a silicone sheet at a Daiso japan store, I think it was something like 2 sheets for $1.98. I just took a hole punch and made the holes. I used this to put on my wheel head so I could underglaze or glaze my pots on the wheel. It worked great. I also found I could use it under the bat like the bat mate, and it worked great.
Winona Bannon what a GREAT idea!!! I'll have to look for that! Thank you for sharing!!!! 😊
Que belleza !!!
I dream of making teapots, at the moment I just sculpt with air dry clay i am not sure when I will allow myself to buy a potters wheel because I don't think I will ever be good enough but your teapot is absolutely beautiful
I hope you do try them someday! I have a few videos on hand building teapots as well!! ruclips.net/video/noMf0LOYXXo/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/neyqtWlNn7U/видео.html
Very beautifull, but missing the necessary functionality you would expect as a tea drinker from a professionally made teapot. For one, the edges of the spout do not seem sharp enough to prevent a lot of trickling. Also there will be a lot of splattering while pouring, since the lid does not have a hole to let in air. And maybe more importantly, lid and handle are not suited for one another to use the teapot with one hand. Teapots who do not have a hook at the lid, that prevents it from falling when pouring the tea, do have a short overhead handle, so one can hold the handle and hold the lid tight while pouring. Neither does the lid have a hook, nor is the handle short enough.
Those are usually the guidlines for the functionality of a teapot. Apart from that, you are pretty much free to create a teapot however you want it to look like.
Can u make more teapot videos like with side handles and also how to do a set
I know this is from ages ago, but batmates are made from chamois leather... I made my own using a car washing chamois I got at a tool store.
One of my most favorite things to make are teapots, loved this video. One thing I always struggle with is how to get my work to the perfect leather hard stage, so basic but so important. Do you use your heat gun for most of your drying?
narda barber no, actually! I rarely use my heat gun! Just in a pinch to dry a handle to get it to the right moisture for attachment. The way I usually dry things to leatherhard is by letting it air dry enough to take away the sticky quality, then I cover it with a heavy towel like a bath towel, then cover the towel with plastic. If the bottoms are still sticky, I move to a board which will help to absorb some of the water... or my favorite- on a poured plaster slab I keep in my studio! Then, over night I can either keep the plastic on the towel, or remove for a bit more drying. I love the towel trick- it definitely keeps the moisture more even than without!
ur awesome
Awesome demo, what kind of clay are you using.
It is Laguna B-mix with grog... cone 5. :-)
Wonderful and very beautiful .. What kind of dye was used in this work ... Thank you very much .
I assume you mean what glaze- I use Coyote brand glazes- Shino and Gunmetal are used on these- they are made in New Mexico, USA. :)
@@KaransPotsAndGlass Thanks for quick answer .. Regards .
Oh, may I know what is the plate on the wheel that was used to hold the object during trimming? I have never seen that before
It’s called a giffin grip
are these usable in any way? they wool really nice
Allen Stoica depends on the types of clay you use
I want a class doing a teapot but in a basic level u.u with coils is it posible to make a teapot?
Absolutely- teapots can be made from any construction method. Slab may be a bit easier. I have a few slab teapot videos you could check out if you want. Here is one: ruclips.net/video/neyqtWlNn7U/видео.html and here is a second! ruclips.net/video/noMf0LOYXXo/видео.html
Karen, that teapot with the faceted surface you show at the beginning, is the glaze, "Amaco's PC-32 Albany Slip Brown"?
No- it is Coyote Shino!
@@KaransPotsAndGlass thank you for your speedy reply!!
Does the pouring happen smoother if the lid has a tiny hole?
I have not had that experience- if it were sealed with a rubber gasket it may, but since air can easily come in under the edges of the lid, I find it unnecessary.
@@KaransPotsAndGlass Thanks.
Is it food safe to not glaze the the lid and lip?
Yes, with vitrified clay, that isn't an issue.
How did you make the spout
I show that at 7:28 in the video!
Why is the handle so long? Esthetic choice or more handy to pour?
Purely esthetic! I don't always make them that long! :) . It does pour nicely though with it. :) . I do realize not everyone likes them longer like that. :)
@@KaransPotsAndGlass Thanks for your answer 👍
Flange, not gallery.
Why is your wheel making that terrible noise?
My wheel is a kick wheel with a motor. The motor is just about 20 years old, so it makes a bit more noise now then it used to! Sorry, I do try to edit it out when possible!
Over head handle, maybe overdone handle
Дуже не практичні ручки.
Особливо коли потрібно помити чайник або його тримати на поличці в кухонній шафі .
