Teapot workshop with a Korean Master Potter

Master Potter Le Huang Gu tells us his secret to making the perfect teapot.

As part of the 2015 Icheon International Ceramics Festival and International Ceramics Workshop over the last two weeks, we were given the opportunity to work alongside some of Korea's most respected master potters. This week I was lucky enough to spend a few hours in a workshop with Korean Master potter Lee Huang Gu. He demonstrated his 40 years experience in making the perfect teapot and all eyes and ears were focused on his workmanship and tips.

Throwing off the mound, he quickly made all of the various components required for a tea pot; the body, lid, spout, handle and tea bowls and once they were dry enough to turn he assembled them into a few beautiful teapots. It was truly amazing to watch and I am so inspired to get back into my studio again and have a go at making his style of teapot.
