I signed up to some pottery sessions as a birthday present to myself. One of the projects I worked on was an icosahedron teapot!

I also made a few wheel thrown pieces!

Between sessions, I worked on tools and other experiments to streamline my making. I made a triangle cookie cutter and a bevel tool that cuts the angles for piecing together the icosahedron teapot.

I also tried making plaster moulds! I 3D printed forms and made plaster moulds from them. Then I poured slip into the moulds! I want to eventually try doing a mould for a D20 teapot, so I started with a lid. My plaster was 30 year old plaster of Paris - I’ll try with proper plaster in the future.

Almost through my whole school years I’d do weekly pottery classes with a neighbour. I reaaaallllly missed it - it’s probably been about 20 years since I last touched clay. These classes were wonderful and I had a great teacher to guide me - please check out their work at melon-au.squarespace.com
