This is my teapot, thrown in seamix, on the wheel. It is uniform and proportionate in shape, seeing as no single part of the teapot is too small or too big for the teapot as a whole. It has a hand-pulled handle on one side and a wheel-thrown spout on the other side, as well as a lid, which was also thrown on the wheel, on top. Carve/design marks are present on the lid and around the spout and handle to help add design as well as help secure the attached pieces to the teapot itself. I glazed the teapot with purple glaze by way of the spray-glazer, coating the purple more heavily on top of the teapot on the bottom to try to give it an ombre effect (but I first coated the teapot in white). The glaze did not turn out as well as I had hoped, probably because there was a little too much white present for the base coat so it ran more than I wanted. For creating this project, I learned how to throw a spout on the wheel, which is basically like throwing a small volcano down to the bat and then cutting it with the string tool at an angle so it can be attached to the base of the teapot. This project has harmony and color to it, seeing as there are many different shades of violet/blue present (due to the mixing of the white and purple glaze) and that the color, as well as the pieces of the teapot, all blend together to make it one project, not just a project with pieces attached. Given all these characteristics, the teapot gives off a calm, melancholy feeling.
