|  | | 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.
