House-top Teapot

Celadon is one of my favorite glazes because its watery depth reveals textured clay surfaces.  This kind of texture is created by marking the  slab with rolling stamps I carved before forming the cup.  The little images that stand proud of the surface come from sprig stamps I’ve made, and it’s my hope that the juxtaposition of those images produces a little psychodrama, a story that the teapots’ users can elaborate upon.
