In a related series of teapots I have been cutting the leather-hard hollow rings apart and reassembling the separate arc sections into a pleasing composition with handbuilding methods, then mounting the Assembly on a base and adding handthrown, handbuilt, and pulled elements to form a Reassembled Ring Teapot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/1612298633501-9EVE32LAANHSWNE77LH1/unnamed.jpg Artist Statement - About the Reassembled Ring Teapots I have thought about ceramic teapots for a long time! I have come to understand that my Reassembled Ring Teapots are both teapots and sculptures that refer to teapots, in the same way that a sculpture of Martin Luther King refers to that famous and revered person, but is not actually Dr. King. A conventional round teapot, one of whose attributes is that it is very efficient at brewing tea, is also a sculpture in the shape of a teapot. Every human-made object is a sculpture with attributes which fit it to or diverge away from the role that object is conventionally perceived to play in our lives. We can say that a familiar utensil, such as a teapot, is actually that utensil, but it is also one example (manifest as a sculpture) of an idea we more or less share about what that utensil is or should be. We judge all objects initially by how their attributes reinforce or stray from our beliefs of what that utensil-object "should be," and ultimately by how the object inspires, educates and challenges us. In my opinion, if it has a handle, an interior chamber for tea, a lid that covers the opening at the top of the chamber, and a spout, it is a teapot, even if it may not be very efficient at brewing or serving tea. More specifically, it is a sculpture in the shape of a teapot. Although they may not be the "most functional" utensils for brewing tea, I can only hope that my Upright Ring and Reassembled Ring Teapots nevertheless have significant attributes that make them worthy of contemplation and inspiration! https://www.raybub.com/articles daily 0.75 2026-01-19

teapot. The larger ones are hollow, the two smaller ones are solid. I don’t know how they will go together yet. I always have a clear idea, and the final teapot never comes out like I visualize it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/1d08d8ac-0af7-48d8-b264-3ff8757e85af/Screen+Shot+2021-04-25+at+12.48.45+PM.png Step-by-Step Making of a Teapot Trimming the bottom side of the hollow ring where it touched the bat. I can’t see inside the closed ring so I am relying on my memory of where I left extra clay thickness to support the shape, and am hoping to not trim through the ring wall.

Trimming the inner fourth ring. The connecting opening to the outer three rings is cut out. The rings are slightly taller from outer to inner—not planned, but now excepted and an essential design feature. The four temporary risers on the outer ring allow the assembly to be turned over and sit supported by the outer ring while bonding the inner rings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/ce9745fa-1d9c-4f3d-82a2-c0fde2297439/27.jpeg Step-by-Step Making of a Teapot The four rings joined together.

Cutting the ring in half at an angle. Cutting each ring half vertically. Gooing the two mating sides to join together. The base upside down, then right side up. I will cut out a curved scooped section to pose the ring assembly on, then join them together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/c96d5bbd-2390-4582-baf3-666751853ce2/38.jpeg Step-by-Step Making of a Teapot The four ring assembly mounted on the base, grooved side, plain side. I used the square to position the ring assembly vertically on the base, but after I bonded the assembly securely onto the base, I checked again with the square and the assembly was leaning a little. I first considered cutting the assembly off the base and re-positioning it, but that seemed dangerous because of all the cutting and handling required. Then I decided to shave down the higher side of the base bottom with the rasp tool. This worked well, with only slight stress on the bond between the assembly and the base. Checking again with the square showed a perfect vertical orientation! The last two pictures show 45 degree views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/f46b001a-e258-461c-b8ca-d29c8bbc7d31/39.jpeg Step-by-Step Making of a Teapot The four ring assembly mounted on the base, grooved side, plain side.

The larger ones are hollow, the two smaller ones are solid. I don’t know how they will go together yet. I always have a clear idea, and the final teapot never comes out like I visualize it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/eeb55da1-49c6-47ce-bf56-1a61ebaca0c1/Screen+Shot+2021-04-25+at+12.49.06+PM.png Step-by-Step Making of a Teapot Trimming the bottom side of the hollow ring where it touched the bat. I can’t see inside the closed ring so I am relying on my memory of where I left extra clay thickness to support the shape, and am hoping to not trim through the ring wall. Smoothing the ring with the plastic rib, cutting the groove feature with the knife tool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/e46c8e12-5a23-4899-8589-ad9956de125f/13.jpeg Step-by-Step Making of a Teapot More rings.

The cutouts don’t perfectly fit together––there are gaps. Then strips of the same hardness clay are jammed into the gaps along the cutouts. After that the bonded attachment zone surfaces are scraped clean. The last picture shows the third ring to be attached inside, not yet cutout for bonding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600dd44d276d9d4dbba3cf99/f3b25dd0-a623-40b4-9b29-b847a48d30ca/24.jpeg Step-by-Step Making of a Teapot My tools.

Now is the time! I will document its construction going forward. As the Teapot ring dries, it shrinks and slightly compresses the air trapped inside.
