Creative COIL POT ideas?
For pottery we have to make a creative piece using the coil pot technique. I can't think of any ideas that I think would work! Last month, when we did pinch pots, one girl made a piggy bank, one girl made a turtle...stuff like that.

Research the Ancient Greek pottery, they have many different types of vases and bowls that they used for storage.
Try to recreate one and explain how the Greeks used it and what for. The teacher will definatly love the fact that you researched art history and tried to recreate it!

Let your pot set up to leather hard and do some carving. You could use goemetric or organic lines. Even simpler carving - use a stencil you could carve out a relief if your pot is thick enough. you could design it with glaze after the first firing. Often a few angled and overlapping dips will look great. there is so much more. go to google and put in the words decorated bowl or pot and have google just search for images. There will be tons. Perhaps one of those images could give you inspiration.
Coil construction allows you to change the plan section (what you would see if you cut through horizontally or look down as you are building) with almost every coil. So you could make a sculpture of or a vase in the shape of a sculpture of a head by making the neck, chin, lips, nose, etc as you add coils - so that could be baby, child, girl, boy, father, mother, etc.
This design http://s217489818.websitehome.co.uk/admin/work/thu... made me think of a toilet bowl.
You can keep it simple by having a square base, oval pot, & rectangular back tank.
You'd have two lids. One for the bowl & one for the tank.
The bowl would look neat because it the coils would give it the swirl of a flush design.
You could use this piece as a plant pot.
Grow the plant in the bowl & keep plant supplies, such as fertilizer stakes & pruning shears in the back tank.
How about a Coffee pot or a flower pot or even a "basket" that you can keep to put things in.
