1st trimester 5th graders finished up glazing their coil pots just at the trimester ended. This was a fun and very time consuming project! It took us a majority of the trimester to complete them. The students started this unit by learning some of the history of coil pottery and comparing and contrasting pottery from different parts of the world. I then demonstrated how to make a coil pot using different types of coils. Their assignment was to make a coil pot that was at least 10 inches high and personalize it using different types of designs, lettering, and or color. The works are pictured below.
