Coil and Carve

Artist Statement: for this project we were asked to create a pot out of the coil technique. the setting of my pot was a sunrise and sunset over the ocean. On one side, there were waves and the sun. On the other side, there were also waves but there was also the moon and stars. creating it, I made a bunch of coils and started with a base. then i would score and slip the coils together, then i would smoothen out the inside and outside of the pot. Once i finished smoothening it out, i started to design it. i used a different variety of holes to represent the stars in the sky. i struggled with making the coils. either i would get them small enough or they would be flat. i overcame this by getting help from someone at my table. if i could redo this project, i would find a new idea to carve in the pot.
