Steps 1-3
1. Draw the teapot design on paper to make a pattern, including the back, front, sides, spout and bottom. Cut out the paper templates.

2. Cut a piece of clay from the stoneware clay block with a wire tool. Wedge the clay to remove any air and pre-flatten by hand.

3. Flatten the clay by rolling it through the slab roller.
