Teapots Boot Camp

Instructor:

Xiaosheng Bi

Discover the art of teapot making in this special ceramics boot camp led by master ceramicist, Mr. Xiaosheng Bi. This hands-on session is designed for experienced potters, who want to learn the intricate techniques of crafting functional and elegant teapots.

Mr. Bi will guide participants through each step of the process, from shaping the body to refining spouts, lids, and handles, ensuring a well-balanced and beautiful final piece. You’ll explore traditional approaches to teapot design while learning tips on clay selection, surface finishing, and firing techniques.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a unique, handcrafted teapot to take home, along with a deeper appreciation for this timeless ceramic form. Spaces are limited—reserve your spot today!
