I am having great fun at stretching my teapot limits these days making anything from cute, little teapots to really large pots. This one is for the serious tea fanatic.
Here is one of the more recent tea sets. Just love creating these little tea families…
Ceramic Teapots by Margit Nellemann
In August, I have a teapot exhibit coming up in in Qualicum Beach here on Vancouver Island. This means I have been working on teapots for a while now. It also means I will be doing the same for another while still. I really enjoy making teapots. I find their uniqueness amusing and their functionality attractive. Here is one of the recent additions:
Brown and Black Teapot by Margit Nellemann
Last week, just before the beginning of a very busy season, and to celebrate Victor’s birthday, we decided to go to Tofino for a little break. It was all very Tofino – windy, gorgeous, sandy, exhilarating and then…… it snowed! If you know Tofino and the West Coast you know how rare this is. It was odd to watch the snow falling on the beach. We enjoyed it, as did the dogs.
A few days after we got back to Cowichan, Spring arrived and we have been enjoying all the early budding. The garlic is out of the ground, peas, spinach and arugula on the way. The daffys are gracing the outside of the studio. Ahh, does it feel good!
