This Spring, artist Pan Yang was kind enough to show how he builds an Yixing tea pot body, completely by hand. Watch as he turns a lump of clay into a beautifully formed pot at his small studio over about 20 minutes, using only simple tools and his own years of experience.
In the background, a Kung Fu action movie plays while he works.
This is only the one step in a longer multi-day process – creating and finishing the lid, sculpting and joining the handle and spout, and generally perfecting every aspect of the pot, inside and out. Once everything is complete, the Pan Yang will fire the pot in his carefully controlled electric kiln.
