Crafts CouncilDirectoryRobert Silver PotteryTeapot AboutAs a potter, my first love was hand-building. (I loved coiling and slab building.) Then I trained as a thrower. (I liked that, on a wheel, I could make quickly and in batches) Now, teapots bring the two activities together. I like all that making and joining of lids, spouts, handles and knobs. Especially as I like to slab build my handles. So when I look at my teapots I can't help wondering if I'm not really a hand-builder at heart. Or even if it matters, so long as it looks good and works.Robert Silver PotteryLondon, EnglandWhite Stoneware Teapot., Simon PattersonWhite Stoneware Teapot with Slab-Built Handle and Knob.
