Hi, I'm Petr Novák, and I'm excited to take you on a journey into the world of tea culture and crafting small teapots!

First, we'll start by diving into the nitty-gritty of selecting the perfect clay, the very foundation of your teapot masterpiece. Then, I'll show you how to throw your teapot, shaping it into a vessel that's both functional and a true work of art.

Next, we'll delve into the intricate process of crafting the lid and handle, the finishing touches that transform your teapot into a functional teapot that infuses beauty into your tea table.

Think of your teapot as a functional work of art, a masterpiece that elevates your tea-drinking experience. Throughout our time together, we'll explore the techniques, the traditions, and the aesthetics that make each teapot unique.

So, are you ready to embark on this creative journey with me?

Let's create some teapot treasures that not only pour tea, but also pour beauty into your life.

His work is internationally recognized and used by tea lovers from all around the world. Petr creates highly functional teaware for multiple settings including casual tea drinking as well as for special occasions and celebrations.
