Coil Pots
Our talented art students have learned about the stages and processes the clay goes through....

...from greenware (dried unfired clay) to bisque (fired once-see picture on right) and in this case glazing (fired a second time with glaze on it). To create the clay pieces you see here, students used two “hand-building” techniques- “slab” and “coil”. First students rolled a slab (a flat piece of clay) then rolled “coils” (snake like thin pieces of clay). They then wrapped then around, spiraled and “beaded” them to build these “coil pots”.
