| Sam and his just finished teapot |
 |
| His first demonstration: a two piece slab pitcher with a hollow handle. |
Several months ago Carolina ClayMatters Guild hosted a workshop with Sam
Chung, instructor at Arizona State. He specializes in slab constructed
pieces, most of which have a serious set of pattern pieces. He started with a simple pitcher design shown below and then went on to create more and more complex pieces like the teapot left.

| This thing is an ewer- a pouring vessel with no handle. |
After several months, I finally have a finished and photographed my
version of Sam's teapot. It was much harder than it looked to do, and
of course I chose the most complicated piece he did to replicate.
Hadn't really planned to have it look so much the shape of his teapot,
but that was what worked. I made things even more complicated by
putting texture on the side panels.
