When creating my coil vessel two studio habits come to mind. The first one is reflect. When I started my coil pot I new that I wanted to make a vase for my grandma. I first started out rolling out the coils, which for me was one of the harder things to do. The coils never really come out how you want them and sometimes they just keep cracking. Once I made the coils I started putting them together in the design I wanted. I was very very hard to keep the pot even. As you can tell in the picture it looks kinda lopsided so I spent a lot of time trying to fix that. After spending way to much time on trying to perfect it I just had to move on. I wasn't sure how I want to decorate my pot so I look up a few things and nothing really sparked my interest. I just decided to make up my own design. I also used a new technique called slip trailing. I thought it was fun, but sometimes the consistency of the slip was hard to work with. Once I finished that I went looking for glazes. I knew that I didn't want it to be to "busy" at the top of the pot because I wanted the flowers to be the main attraction. So I decided to paint the top white with white glaze. Next I found greens, the green glazes I used where new leaf and ivy green . I didn't have a technique when paint my pot I just kinda went with it and put glaze all over. Once all the green dried I put the color brust herb garden over the whole thing. That color burst is probably one of my favorites and I think that it really brings the pot together. The next studio habit I used was engage and persist. I had a lot of problems when making this pot and I took a lot of me not to just pick it up and chuck it at the wall. But I pushed though and kept with it.
