Unit 3
Coil Pot
Front
Back
This project took a lot of trial and error, but I'm happy with the final product. My original attempt at this piece failed, collapsing after I tried to slip and score onto bone dry clay. On my second attempt, I created as much cohesion between the coils as possible, scoring and slipping and smoothing out the inside more thoroughly. If I were to do this project again, I would try to smooth out the exterior of the coils more to make it look less grainly.
Original Plan
Slump Mold/Sgrafifto
Right Side Up
Upside Down
This is a pretty mediocre project of mine in my opinion. Looks alright, but a bit different from what I was going for originally. I'm glad the slump mold aspect of the piece went well. I was able to remove the clay from the mold with few problems. I was worried the lines of the sgarafifto wouldn't come out solid and defined, but it went okay. If I were to do this piece again, I would add more layers of underglaze for more contrast between the glaze and the carved lines.
Original Plan
Slab Structure With Darts
I'm pretty content with the final product of this piece, but I faced some challenges while making it. I couldn't seem to correctly proportion the dimensions of the slab to make the shape that I wanted. I was also worried my darts were unevenly spaced and wouldn't make an even base, but it turned out alright. If i were to do this piece again, I would make the slab to have a more uniform thickness throughout.
