TEPOTTER, TESKÅLE, TAPAS TALLERKNER

Tepotter fremstilles i rigtig mange arbejdsgange, og der er derfor også mange tinge, der kan gå galt inden det endelige resultat. Den store udfordring er: hælder den godt? Hanke er lavet af spanskrør, som jeg former over damp, og derefter snitter til med en hobbykniv. Det er fint med de forskellige materialer og hanken bliver ikke varm. Der er rigtig mange timers arbejde i at fremstille en tepotte, så det er svært at få en rimelig timeløn ud af det. Så, jeg laver tepotter for udfordringen!

TEAPOTS, TEA BOWLS, TAPAS DISHES

Teapots are made in quite a number of steps, and hence, many things can go wrong before the final result. The big challenge is whether the spout serves without dripping! The handle is made from cane  which I form over steam and cut with a stanley knife. I believe the different materials match each other well and the handle does not get hot. Makinga teapot involves many hours of work, so it is very hard to get a decent hourly payment out of making them. The only reason for me is the challenge - and because tea tastes much better when pured from a clay teapot.
