This project is coil pot I made with my group for the social studies teacher, Mr. Wieburg. The project consists of 3 different styles of coils, along with a cut out "W" on the side. The body has long coils along the base, with 4 round coils connected by 4 vertical coil sections, with a single horizontal coil on the top. For this project, I painted glaze on the body first, then dipped the entire thing in blue glaze, before scrubbing away some of the blue. The circular coils give the body shapes of coils, adding to the diversity, and provides movement to them. The project also exhibits balance in its abundance of coil types and variation. A big lesson I learned with this project is that you need to have an undercoat of glaze before you paint on separate glazes, thus the initial glaze can fill the crevices of the project. However this accident I made with it is one of my favorite parts of the project and the first glazes have blended with the blue glaze that was applied after.

This project is a small wide bowl. It is a 2 by 5 inch project, with thick widened walls, and stands quite short. The glaze it white on the interior, with dark blue on the outside along with small black strokes on the blue. The distinct value in the glaze is made very apparent with the stark contrast of light and dark. It also shows a certain pattern in the black spots along the blue glaze on the exterior. The most important skill I earned with this project is that I need to use more clay in order to make a larger bowl. Also, I need to learn how to make sure the bottom of the project does not develop holes along the ring of the foot. My favorite part about this project I feel is the very bright white of the interior glaze.
