I have thought about it, I don't have access to a wheel or a kiln or I'd
work on it for sure. I do agree with the person who said tea bowls or
cups would be a better place to start though. Handbuilding for me has
always had...less than desirable results, lol. I've bought teapots from
local potters before, while I use some of them, some of them are just
too important to chance it. Not expensive just dear to me.

I love doing pottery, it reminds me of kneading bread, both soothing and
physical and somewhat alchemical all at once. I wish I had space to do
it again. Clay is a messy hobby for an apartment.
