I like the way you make your spouts, I think the spout is the most important part of a teapot. I adopted your method a long time ago. Getting the right balance with all the parts is SO important isn't it .I remember when I first started to make teapots that the spouts looked quite phallic : haha
I'm sure every potter has their own white whale, well mine is teapot spouts. My spouts always look like a bulky funnel. I'm going to try the Popsicle stick while collaring and hopefully it'll be more graceful like yours.
I'm sure potters and beginners alike will learn a lot form this demo Hain-chuen, very nice inspiring video.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the commentary Hsin, very helpful for potters and beginners alike.
Glad it was helpful!

You are welcome!
How much clay do you use for the lid and spout?
Approximately 1/2 Lb for the lid and 1/4 Lb for the spout
Please take your mask off. They are worthless. Enjoy your skill &demo however.
