Alice DeLisle thinks some of her teapots are close to kitsch. The clay artist has heard viewers ponder amongst themselves as to what her teapots are actually made of. Her ability to emulate grasses, pods, earthy matter and other textures, via hand sculpting then glazing, can stimulate some confusion. The brashness she refers to is most likely from her naming of the pots, such as "Piggy Tea, Garden Party," and "High Tea too." Nonetheless, my favorite of DeLisle's work is the "Teapod with Blossoms" tea set. Tagged in: Untagged
