Recognized for his signature miniature teapots, Fong will explore and demonstrate in detail the teapot form from the perspective of proportions: from the large to the small and from the whimsical to the utilitarian. Through the creation of the teapot form, participants will inevitably recognize the skills required in handling clay, acquire a better sense of craftsmanship, and without doubt exercise better visual creative skills by virtue of the form.

There will be discussions about his glaze techniques to achieve his jewel tone effects by combining commercial glazes with found and tweaked recipes. There will also be demonstrations on tool and cane handle making, networking, pricing and presentational aspects of ceramics. Visual presentations of Fong’s work will be presented with both slides and actual work and he has invited all participants to bring samples of their own work to discuss.

This workshop is designed for all levels of ceramic experience.
