First time I'm trying coil building. It's definitely more relaxing than the wheel and I feel like I can make more organic shapes. Also I'm not skilled enough to get this size on the wheel yet.

We'll see if this survives two kiln firings.

That is such a fun shape! I've been trying to throw pots with very steep curves to close them up but I haven't quite figured it out. I look forward to seeing this pot done!

It was much more mouth shaped before. It used to have two lips open in a kind of mouth. I decided that was a bit much, lol.

Good luck with your firing!
