Hot Tea
The teapot is a familiar household object used for serving simple tea or for ceremony. A goddess teapot, however, is a celebration! My goddess teapots are large, sculptural, and their titles are word plays. With their cycladic goddess heads and exaggerated bodies, my teapots boldly exemplify their names: "Fertili-Tea", "Formali-Tea", "Her Majes-Tea", "Liber-Tea", "Q-Tea", "Hot Tea", etc.

Each teapot is handbuilt from slabs of earthenware clay. All teapots have the functioning parts of a "real" teapot, but they are strictly sculptural.
