Historical Coil Project

In this project I was tasked with a historical pot, mine was a quite simple pot (last picture shown) This project was fun because it was just layering lots of coils on top of each other. The struggle of this assignment was that the walls kept caving in due to gravity and how wet the clay was.

The process of picking out my design was very hard, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do one plain color or a design. Yet, after getting advice from my friends I realized that a design would be the best idea.  For the design, I used the other end of a pint brush and dotted on a bunch of dots, specifically 5 for each flower and then one green dot in the middle. For the smaller flowers, I used a smaller paintbrush and repeated the process. 

Overall, I'm very happy with the final product I feel like the effort that was put into this project definitely shows.   If I were to change on thing about this pot it would be that there is an odd spot where there is a crack, so if I could go back I would figure out a way to prevent this.
