I started building my coil pot today! I am using gray clay, because I want to use high-fire glaze when I am finished. Above you can see my brainstorm and the progress I made today. I didn't get to make many coils, mostly because this was my first time trying this, so I am still practicing. I had some difficulty rolling my coils, because they kept turning out different thicknesses. Also, I always had weak spots in my coils that I would have to add more clay to so that it doesn't rip. I think I got the hang of it towards the end though, so I am excited to work on this more next class. Before I cleaned up, I used a wooden modeling tool with a slanted edge to impress little lines onto my pot, giving it a brick texture! I can't wait to see what my pot will look like completed.
