Coiled Technique

Basic Coiled Pot

1. I throw the clay until it flatten, and then cut out a circle shape tile for the base of the pot. Then I made many coils to build up the pot. After that I smoothen the edges and the surface and wait for the clay to dry a little bit.

2. I carved some flowers and added some textures to the pot. After bisque fired the pot, I used PC29 to glazed the side of the pot, and glazed the interior with PC12.

Historical Coiled Pot

1. I flatten a thin tile, and it became the bottom of the pot. Then I built up the pot with many coils.

2. I smoothened the surface of the pot, and then I cut out the thin bottom, and flipped the pot upside down so it now became the mouth of the pot.

3. I glazed the pot with SM11 and SM44. And I also used a clear glaze SM10 to cover the part that have not been glazed by the lime green and the white.
