Etsy Finds Friday - Teapots!

It's Etsy Finds Friday and today I thought I would do my Friday Feature a little differently... I am a coffee drinker.  I love coffee and once I wake up each morning I can't wait to have my first cup of the day!  I don't drink coffee much past noon though.  I also drink tea now and then, nice on a cold winter afternoon or evening.  Even though I don't drink tea as often as I do coffee, I love teapots!  I was browsing Etsy the other day and came across some fun, nature inspired teapots and thought I would share a few with you for Etsy Finds Friday.  Click on the images to see more about each piece and don't forget to visit each of these great shops to see more of their wonderful handmade creations.  Enjoy!

Etsy Finds Friday - Suzanne's Pottery Farm

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the

the Awesome Pottery

 Created by:

Suzanne of

Suzanne's Pottery Farm

In the Artist's Own Words:

My name is Suzanne and I love clay. I love how it feels and even how it smells. I love to throw clay, and I am totally amazed with what can be made using clay. The 5 clays that I use are: raku, porcelain, and three colors of stoneware. I like each one for its own unique properties and can't give up any one of them because each one is used to create something different.  Almost everything that I make is thrown on the wheel - vases and urns, piggy banks and bunny banks and pieces that make my grandchildren happy--and make me happy too--, mugs with big handles, all sizes and shapes of pitchers, garden and fairy garden items, and a lot of seasonal items. 
 

I am a left-handed potter and I throw in the opposite direction of most other potters. For the main part, I taught myself how to throw clay on the potters wheel. (The potters wheel that I learned on is a very special wheel that was made for me by my father. It was made from a tractor axle, electrified, and it is a three speed stick-shift with a clutch. The wheel is still in use - now I use it to grind the bottoms of each piece as it comes out of the kiln, to be certain the bottoms are nice and smooth. )

Etsy Finds Friday - Roberta Polfus

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the

Beautiful Porcelain

Pieces 

Created by: 

  Roberta Polfus 

I love the earthy organic feel to Roberta's beautiful porcelain pieces 

and am happy to feature her here today!

In the Artist's Own Words:
I have always been attracted to natural objects, at least as long as my clothing has had pockets. My carved and sometimes gestural pieces are intimate forms that fit and feel good in the hand. While they are generally not representations of actual objects, they reflect the shapes, patterns, colors and surfaces that I am drawn to in nature.

I was introduced to porcelain about 14 years ago and we’ve been inseparable since then. I use a combination of wheel thrown and handbuilt forms that are altered, carved and sprigged. With a variety of airbrushed matte and gloss glazes that enhance the surfaces, the pieces are fired to a high temperature in a gas kiln, cone 10 reduction, around 2340 F.

I have many works in process and will be adding them as they come out of the kiln. Each one I've listed is made individually by hand by me.
