Artist and woodworker Ron Layport creates bowls, vessels, and sculpture that feature animal and plant designs. The Goat’s Head Tea was a new challenge, as he states:

“The idea for this piece came within seconds of being asked to make my very first teapot. The turning took a couple of hours. Engineering was reminiscent of building a tree house, and the construction took me back to furniture-making days. It makes me smile when I see it!”
