Coil Pot
This coil pot took a lot of time to make and patience. I first started off with the base and rolled out a small slab and cut out a circular slab. Then I started rolling out each and every coil and slipping and scoring each one to attach them. After it was about 7 inches tall I fired it. Then I dipped it into the blue glaze. Lastly, it was fired one more time and came out amazing. It took a long time but was well worth it. What took the most time was rolling out eah coil perfectly, so it came out the same size as most of the others. All in all, it was a success.
Cylinder
To make this cylinder I used the wheel. I started off with a chunk of clay, then I centered it and started shaping with my hands and fingers. First I made the hole to open it up by pushing my finger inward and pulling out. After I made the hole I got a wet sponge and behgan to smooth out the outside and inside to also shape the cylinder. Once I was done I fired it once and then painted it. After I finished painting it I fired it once again and finally it was done. This project did not take as much time as the other because I made it on the wheel, which made the process a lot faster and easier. Lastly, it was much easier and came open perfectly the way I imagined it.
the box
This box took a long time and effort to make in order for it to come out just the way I wanted. I first rolled out six diferent slabs and then cut them into squares. Then, I slipped and scored each one of them, connecting all five slabs together. The last slab I left as the top and made a curved handle for the top. After I decorated each side. Two sides were engraved in and the other two have the letter "S" and a star coming out from it. After being fired once I painted each side with a different color as well as the top. The sides consisted of red, blue, green, pink, and the top was purple. After being fired a second time, I reengraved the writing on the two sides to make it stand out more. This was one of my most hardest projects but the one I feel most accomplished of.
