On the second art lesson we learnt how to make a pot using the coiling method.
First we had to wedge the clay to remove the air bubbles.
Then we flatten the clay to a certain thickness.
After that we used a needle to cut out the shape of the circle.
When we had the shape of a circle we score the sides so that the glue stick have more surface area and can stick this easily.
then we used a machine that can form the shape of a coil easily.
we score on the coils and use the glue stick.
We paste the coil and the base together.
we continued this step for the next three coils.
After putting the three coils together,we
used a wooden tool to smoothen and connect the coils together.
Then we used our hands to give the shape of the clay.
For the pot to look nicer,we used a loop tool to trim the pot inside and outside.
After the trimming the pot with the different tools,we were told to blow dry our clay.
After the dried pot is harden we used sum clay to put at the side of the pot so that the pot will not fall off.
