For our group coil project we decided to make a flower pot for Mr. Kurka. This could port consist if spirals, lines, and triangles. For glazing we decided to do it in a dark green glaze on bottom and light green on the very top, we painted on the glaze and sponged off the bottom to it was safe for the kiln. One new skill I learned was how to roll clay our into an even band with my hands. For this project it has many differing lines, all ranging in thickness and shape. There are lines going different ways and swirling which makes it interesting to look at. Also the color of glaze we chose is a very nice, the greens really compliments the intention we had behind the project. The importance of this project is that I learned how to create a coil pot, I project looks good so it mean that our group worked well and efficiently together.

This is my pinch pot project, and for my project I tried to create an elephant. This Project is white with a bit of blue glaze. How I went about glazing is was a painted the glaze on in white then I sponged off the access, then I added blue in the areas that I wanted to be blue. A few skills I learned was how to attach pieces of clay together by slipping and scoring. The piece has nice form and shape, it does indeed look like an elephant. I feel like everything on the elephant is pretty proportional, well besides the legs which I wanted to be smaller to give it more of a cute stuffed animal feel. Although the blue did run more than I originally thought I still like how it came out, it makes me think of water, The importance of this project is I learned that sometime certain glazes can run more than others.
