The Teapot Form : Utilitarian vs Miniature

Reg by May 5th
Recognized for his signature miniature teapots, during this workshop Fong will explore and
demonstrate in detail the teapot form with reference to the perspective of proportions: from the
large to the small and from the whimsical to the utilitarian.
Through the creation of the Teapot form participants will inevitably develop skills in handling clay,
acquire a better sense of craftsmanship and without doubt exercise better visual creative skills by
virtue of the form.
Additionally, there will be discussions with glazing through the use of the spray gun and brush
layering to achieve the jewel tone and other effects.
There will be ongoing in-studio discussions.
There will be a tool making demonstrations.
There will be a cane handle demonstrations.
Examples of the artist’s actual work will be on display for use as visual references.
And, if time permits, a slide presentation of some of his early work to the current.
