Fleur Schell - How to build a Porcelain Teapot
The Ceramic School
Hi, my name is Fleur Schell and in this workshop, I am going to show you how to build a porcelain teapot.
Porcelain lives in its own universe. It is quite unique to all other clays. Because of this, it requires a certain understanding of its behavior and relationship to water and your working environment. Let me take you on a highly practical deep dive into understanding what's happening to porcelain while I stretch, compress, and layer slabs of clay to build a magical teapot that tells a story.
After this workshop, you could be making amazing work like this:

About Fleur Schell
Once I finished university I spent several years travelling to other parts of the world to work in Art Schools and artist studios to earn a living and refine my distinctive voice through clay. Later I returned to Beautiful Perth in Western Australia to raise a little family with my husband Richard and we launched a Clay Centre and International Visiting Artist Residency.
Everything changed the moment our children Heidi and Harry were born. My world literally transformed from shades of grey to sublime colour. Informed by the conversations and perspective shared by both of our children, I now spend my days telling their marvellous stories through clay. Sharing in their childhood has deeply influenced my art practice and helped us stay connected as a family in a world in constant flux. Heidi and Harry remind me that the most interesting stories unfold while we are busy waiting.
