Coil Project

Artist Statement :

For this project, we were assigned to make a pot using only coils, and create a sgraffito design.

I wanted to make this piece bright and have multiple layers to the design. I used three different underglazes, orange, bright green, and dark blue. I then went in with my design. I wanted my pot to have texture when people touched it, which is why in some areas I made deep carves, and for others, I did subtle designs.

I feel that the colors really contrast together and make it very bright and interesting to look at. I made it into a plant pot for my mom which is now sitting on our kitchen counter.
