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.
