Sound familiar? 😥😭
  • 💔 Cracks and rejects
    "My handles constantly fall off or crack at the base during drying or firing. I spend a ton of time, and in the end, I get a reject."


  • 🧒🏼 "Beginner" ceramics
    "I tried to make a teapot again, but it still drips. The lid either wobbles or doesn't fit after firing. It looks amateurish, and it's awkward to use. I can't sell this for a good price, it's not professional."
  • 😵‍💫 No harmony in the piece
    "My pieces look like they've been 'slapped together' from different parts. The handle, spout, and body don't look like a single, unified whole. I don't understand the principles of composition and harmony."
  • 👀 Don't understand the fundamentals and principles
    "Why does water pour perfectly from one spout, but barely trickles and splatters from another? Why does the lid 'stick' to the teapot? I don't understand why it works or doesn't work."
  • 😬 Afraid to start complex forms
    "I'm scared to take on teapots and jugs because I don't know where to start, and I'm afraid of wasting a lot of material and time for nothing. It seems too complicated, there's a lot of conflicting information online, and no clear system."
  • 🚮 Impossible to use

    "I waste a lot of clay and time on failed experiments. I already have a whole collection of rejects, you could make an exhibition of trials and errors. And I still don't understand how to make things that are both beautiful and functional."
This is not your fault. Creating a functional and harmonious teapot is not magic, but the knowledge and practice of specific principles and techniques.
And they can really be mastered.
We know how to teach you to make:

✓ Handles that don't crack and are a part of the composition

✓ Lids that fit the base perfectly, don't fall out, and don't burn your fingers

✓ Spouts that produce an even stream and don't drip
We have gone through all the mistakes for you, so you can move on to creating professional pottery as quickly as possible with a minimum of experiments.

We will break down the creation of a teapot into three key elements — handles, lids, and spouts — and we will perfect each of them.

You will stop working blindly and start creating with understanding.
The course "Handles, Lids, Spouts" is right for you if
  • 🟠 You already feel confident in pottery,
    but want to move beyond simple cups and bowls to more complex, intentional forms.
  • 🟠 You want your pieces to look like a cohesive whole,
    not just a random collection of separate parts.
  • 🟠 Боитесь браться за чайники,
    потому что представляете, сколько времени потратится на самостоятельные эксперименты без четкой и понятной системы.
  • 🟠 You dream of creating intricate, functional ceramics
    that inspire admiration and make people eager to buy them.
  • 🟠 Tired of dribbling spouts,
    wobbly lids, and handles that betray you by cracking during drying
  • 🟠 You're looking for structured knowledge,
    not just scraps of information from short videos, to solve your technical problems once and for all.
What's inside the course?
  • Module 1: Handles
    • 3 foundational techniques: pulling, slab building, wheel throwing.
    • The secret to secure attachment: why handles will never break off again.
    • Ergonomics: how to craft a handle that fits perfectly in the hand.
  • Module 2: Lids
    • From simple flat shapes to complex hollow forms.
    • "Chopstick-box" technique: Creating a lid together with its base.
    • "Water lock" and perfect fitting: How to make a lid sit snugly and seal tightly.
  • Module 3: Spouts
    • The theory of the perfect pour: the "45-degree golden rule" that solves dripping.
    • In practice: pulling a spout from the vessel vs. crafting it separately.
    • Tea ceremony spout design: controlling flow speed with precision.
  • Bonus Module: Teapot Assembly & Philosophy
    • How to harmoniously combine all elements into a unified piece.
    • Analyzing real mistakes using masterpieces as examples.
    • Key differences between traditional teapots and ceremonial ones.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
