Pinch pot and Coil construction

Coil Construction!
Coil construction is done by stacking and joining coils of clay one on top of the other.before i started my coil construction i researched some design in Google. In my coil construction i decided to make a vase for my pen and pencils. i saw various design in the goggle. As u can see in the picture, i made round shape out of coil to design my vase. . when i was working on this i just thought of also making the heart shape in my second layer and i also make letters. I prepared my coils a day before by using coil extruder and I put those in the plastic so it won't get dry. Next day first I flatten a piece of clay using slab method. Then I cut slab in round shape. after that i joined my different designed coil by using slips. when joining the coils together first i scratch the part where i will join coil together with brush then i connect it with slips. i follow same steps until i am done with connecting my last top layer!

Double pinch pot! is same technique as the pich pot in which we create two bowel using pinch pot process. Then we connect both bowel together and we can either create a vase or what ever we like. In my ceramic work i made a water container. This water container some what looks like a clay container from my village at Nepal. It reminds me of my child hood. i just decided to also add some pretty decoration for fun!  

My very first Pinch Pot! :)
Our first work for this class was pinch pot. Pinch pot is a very basic pottery technique. we firs start with the ball of clay by impressing from the center of the ball. then we can start pinching the sides on however shape we like. at firls when i was working on my pinch pot it was circle bowel but later i turned it in to heart shape. which turn out to be pretty good!
