This month Freya challenged me with a teapot! The four parts (main body, spout, handle and lid) were stitched together at the leather hard stage. It is pouring like a bubbly unpredictable fountain (by which I mean it's not a great pour). I glazed it in transparent, applying splashes of manganese with a toothbrush.

| Freshly stitched together, spare handles in the back. |
 |
| A generous spout |
 |
| I pierced a hole for the spout in the main body with some sort of apple corer |
 |
| This first teapot is for my mum! |
 |
| The lid is fired in place on the main body so that they expand or contract together; I had to hit them with a big stone to separate them after the kiln firing. |
