Here's the second chapter of the Fairy Tale story;

Chapter Two
Having examined for reference the bottom of his garden (which was an experience in itself as Paul has just moved to a new abode in Cornwall) the teapot master begins to lay down the rudiments of the design.

Like a lot of very crafty people, Paul claims he cannot draw and is thus very reluctant to let anyone "see his etchings" (not sure this is really true).

Anyhow, we have managed to sneak into his studio and can go one better than his etchings and see him in action modelling.

The result is that you can literally see the main body of the teapot "budding" in the shape of a beautiful flower around which the magical fairy ring will gather.

Watch this section of the website for further developments and make sure that you have reserved your place at this magical meeting by subscribing to the diminishing edition of just 80 sculptures (as at June 23rd).

You can view photographs of the teapot in production on the www.cardewclub.com website, for which you have to join up. Follow the links from the homepage to join the club and then view the photos of this truly unique and exciting collectors piece.
