clay teapot; 7x9x6″
“I was invited to work in a ceramic studio shared by 30 potters in Ontario, Canada. While working with my new pottery friends, I created this teapot as a symbol of goodwill and friendship. I made a second, matching teapot, which was left as a gift to the potters at the studio. Canada Geese fly freely back and forth between our countries and made the perfect mascot for this project.”
