Historical Pot

The thought behind my coil pot was that I am going to try to make it resemble a historical pot I had seen. My work was made using white clay that I later under formed into a pot and I glazed it and fired it and then fired it. I chose to create this specific piece because I wanted to have it resemble the shape of the historical pot.

I used contrast in the glaze because the glaze has a mixture of yellow and blue which I think was pc 23. My project evolved from a solid block of clay into multiple different coils that I later stacked on top of each other to form the pot.

The meaning behind my artwork is to create something that shows its age with the pot not being perfectly round and smooth. My project relates to my life because I have been working on a lot of history in western studies. I think my artwork could be stronger if I had the chance to start over and improve upon what need to be worked on.
