Coil Pots

This project was about coil pots. We started off with a ball of clay, and worked all the air bubbles out of it. After that we too a section and made a small circular disc for the bottom. After we had made the bottom we started of by making coils. We did this by rolling a section out with our hands till it was long and tubular. After we had a coil made we circled the outside of disc with the coil. We repeated the coil making process and staked them on top of each other until we ran out of clay. 

On our pots we were required to have a couple of things; a symbol that has meaning in out culture, a primary, and a secondary color. I used a cross, blue, and green to meet those objectives.

An extension of this would be to have you student research different way clay pots are made. You would have them in groups and they each would make a pot and present how to do it to the class. It could be done as a step by step speech or in art class.
