The thoughts of teapothead. After a long day of slim progress towards teapot #2, teapothead feels adrift – it’s all talk and insufficient skill – sigh. When even teapothead is feeling like there’s no point continuing, it is very difficult for anyone else to keep going. By teapothead on November 4, 2008. 3 Responses to “drawing a blank”.

the great good fortune | teapothead rides again
https://teapothead.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/the-great-good-fortune
The thoughts of teapothead. The great good fortune. Two things have brought teapothead back to this blog:. I) wrestling with the design of teapot #3 – teapothead is feeling all at sea all over again – but things have started to get to a point where it is possible to show at least something. More on the struggles of teapot #3 to come – the design has advanced past that point shown above but spout and handle options have diverged along two very separate paths….

teapots #1 and #2 | teapothead rides again
https://teapothead.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/teapots-1-and-2
The thoughts of teapothead. Teapots #1 and #2. Teapothead shakes – there’s much to improve on this first effort – so much is lost in translation. Two strange siblings but here they are. Poor little #2 (on the right) did not receive as much attention as #1 – it does show, especially in the handles (stay tuned for a reworking of at least the lid handle). By teapothead on November 22, 2008. 5 Responses to “teapots #1 and #2”. They do have such different characters, don’t they? The bottom curve of each teapo...

interacting with your teapot | teapothead rides again
https://teapothead.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/interacting-with-your-teapot
The thoughts of teapothead. Interacting with your teapot. But let’s be frank – are teapots just out of date – have they been surpassed, like the machine, by this digital life? Teapothead thinks maybe this is so but also believes another way is possible – how can we reconnect with the teapot? Interaction is one way – what would we need to add to the teapot to make it a more approachable object with more than one function? In these uncertain times, we all fidget.

teapot #3 | teapothead rides again
https://teapothead.wordpress.com/2010/06/03/teapot-3
The thoughts of teapothead. Some time has passed – teapothead went quiet, very quiet……. But it is useful to reflect on the year past, teapot #3 has come along, as have several other primordial, deep sea creatures, that otherwise pass as a tea set. With its hemispherical nature, the whole room is reflected in teapot #3. Teapothead considers that it is kind of crazy to make such a difficult teapot – simple says teapothead, keep it simple.

The thoughts of teapothead. Bull;October 28, 2008 • 2 Comments. Teapot #1 has come to life – from the model to an (almost) finished teapot. Actually making the teapot leads to minor changes, some pleasing, others less so. Teapothead says accept the pleasure of seeing the teapot come to life but retain a critical eye – try to understand what is good in the teapot (and contains the essence of “Six Persimmons”) and what could be improved.

what is function | teapothead rides again
https://teapothead.wordpress.com/2008/11/02/what-is-function
The thoughts of teapothead. This teapot, this new teapot #1, is functional as a vessel for steeping tea leaves and pouring tea. But what other functions can it serve? It could also serve as a focus for reflection or contemplation – teapothead considers this is a legitimate function – not that this teapot is necessarily capable of serving that function. What would happen if a line of small fruit-bats, hanging from under the handle, were included? By teapothead on November 2, 2008. Maybe the open shape han...
