Teapot Workshop with Jonathan Steele

Saturday May 30th 2 - 6pm and Sunday May 31st 9am - 6pm

Location: 8063 SE 17th Ave, Portland, OR 97202

This two-day workshop will cover the particulars of teapot design and craft for exceptional

performance in steeping and serving high quality loose-leaf tea. Through the presentation of

examples, demonstration of throwing and assembling components, and hands-on practice for

participants, Jonathan will share the intricacies of what makes a teapot work gracefully and how to

control these details in the making. I ask that workshop participants have the foundational skills of

the pottery studio already in place so we can jump right in!
