Laura Peery's handmade teapots reflect her interest in the soft nature of clay. Choosing porcelain for its fine, delicate texture, Laura creates each piece as if from a dressmaker’s pattern, rolling thin slabs of clay which she impresses with fabric and lace. The pieces are colored with ceramic stains and underglazes, fired, then embellished with materials chosen for contrast and a sense of surprise. Trained as a potter, Laura's fanciful work honors the potters who make traditional forms from traditional materials. The interiors of each teapot is glazed so that it holds the possibility, if not the full promise, of function.
