This is a coil pot that I made using clay. It is 6 inches tall and has a pot base with a pattern of coils as it goes up. One skill that I learned from my work was that it is important to make a wide base so as you build up it can be supported. I also learned that making the coils and connecting them should be done around the same time or the same day as when they dry they can break off. One element that I think is most emphasized in my work is balance. I feel like I did a good job of using a pattern so when you look over the piece it looks nice to the eye and balanced. By making sure to use a wide base and focusing on balance throughout my coil I was able to create a coil pot that looked pleasing and was interesting and unique. Although I had a hard time with this project(had to restart) I think it helped me learn how to create a better one.
