The Times (Newspaper) Building 2024 on Prospect Street in Hartford was renovated in 2017 to become the thriving downtown campus for UCONN.
TheTimes / UCONN Teapot is hand built from clay slip-cast pieces and clay slabs. (Slip-cast is liquid clay that is poured into a plaster mold - made by the artist. As the clay sits in the plaster the edges firm up and the remaining liquid is poured out.) The teapot is dried and fired to approximately 1919° in a ceramic kiln. The teapot is then hand painted with ceramic underglazes and glazes. It is fired again.
TheTimes / UCONN Teapot is a limited production and is signed, dated and numbered by the artist. All teapots can be used for brewing tea but due to their delicate nature limited use is recommended. Hand wash: do not microwave.
