Bill Albright’s Bear Series III – Teapot is a ceramic sculpture that blends the shape of a teapot with the features of a bear. With its rounded form, bear-like ears, and snout-like spout, the piece turns a familiar object into something unexpected and imaginative. By combining function with creativity, Albright invites us to see everyday things in new and surprising ways, showing how art can be both fun and thoughtful. Inspired by Bill Albright’s Bear Series III – Teapot, this activity lets you turn an ordinary teapot into an extraordinary animal! Start with a paper teapot cutout, then choose from a variety of fun shapes—ears, tails, legs, wings, and more. Use your imagination to mix and match the pieces and create your own teapot creature. Will it be a Teapot Turtle? A Parrot-Pot? A Bear with a handle? There’s no wrong way to create—just have fun and make it yours!
