This is my group’ coil project. It is 8 coils tall and about four inches wide at the lip. The surface features images of mathematical symbols which we created in porcelain. Additionally, the pot has an interesting texture because this is the nature of a coil pot. The inside is smooth. We used clear glaze on the outside and black glaze on the inside of the pot, and on the top coil. A new skill I used to creature this was the slip and score method. While I have done this before in freshman year, I had forgotten about it. I used this method to attach our symbols and our coils together. An art element I used were lines, and the lines created by the coils lead your eyes from one symbol to the next. The design element we used was proportion/scale, as we tried to make the coils of equal thickness and the symbols of similar sizes. Overall, I think this coil pot creates a harmonic feeling because it unites math and art together -- two subject which are often seen as very distinct but actually have many commonalities.
