Making Teapots with a Master in Yixing, Jiangsu, China

I visited China last summer and stayed in various spots including Wuxi and Yixing (Jiangsu Province). While i was in Yixing, I got to visit the studio of a pottery master, and she was kind enough to give us a crude demonstration of how to make a teapot using the famous purple clay (zisha). Check out the video and pictures here ( https://eztea.ca/blogs/tea-talk/learning-how-to-make-teapots-from-a-yixing-master ) ! It was a super cool experience. Later on in the trip, I got to experiment with making my own teapots which I will be posting soon. Needless to say, they were nowhere near as good as what this master made in just a few minutes.
