Coil pot
My coil pot is made up of a lot of coils stacked on each other. I smoothed all of them out so it looked neat. Towards the top, I started to slant it so it wasn't just straight up.

Reflection questions
-What techniques did you learn while creating your coil pot project?
How to smooth it out without breaking your coil pot and I learned how to make coils.
-To a new ceramicist, what are three suggestions you'd give them to improve their coil-making technique?
To make good coils, make them the same size and be neat.
-Based on the cultural examples of coil pots you saw (Native American, African, contemporary, etc.) what were you most drawn to when creating your coil pot?
I was drawn to the cool different shapes of the coil pots.
-What was your greatest success with your coil pot project? Why do you think you were so successful?
I think the finished look was the most successful because it looked finished and nice.
-What aspects of your coil project do you think you could have improved upon? How would you go about doing this?
I think I could have improved the slant of the pot. I think I could have done this by adding lots of coils then cutting it.
-Find a ceramic artist you like online (via Facebook, Instagram, Google, etc.). What do you like about this artists work? What inspiration could you draw from his/her work? Include an image of a piece you like.
The artist I chose ( on instagram) was Naomi, she calls it Modern Mud Ceramics. She makes it all by hand in New York. I really like her pieces because they are modern and useful in everyday life.
