On my team was Jesiah and Emily. We made our coil pot for Gbow. Our coil pot starts with a fairly small base and gets much wider towards the top so that Gbow can fit tennis balls in it. In order to make this coil pot we had to practice rolling out coils from clay and attaching them by slipping and scoring. The dark shade of glaze we used puts an emphasis on our use of negative space in-between coils. Lines created by coils create a sense of movement as it gets wider and wider towards the top. We complemented the complex design of the pot with a simple, single shade glaze. The dark green/blue color gives the pot a sense of mystery.

These are my 4 bowls. All 4 are about the same size and are fairly rounded with a nice lip. In order to make these bowls I used the rib tool to round the edges out and I practiced compressing the lip to make sure it was sturdy. I complemented the simple shape of the bowls by giving them a simple glaze. I used one shade of glaze and dipped one edge on each of the bowls in white to create a slight contrast in the colors. The simplicity of the form and the cool glaze colors create a very relaxed and natural feel to these bowls.
