Coil Pot Inspiration

An artist on Deviant Art created a bird coil pot. They creatively used coils to form a wing. I found it very interesting. The pot was not a common pot that was all symmetrical. It placed emphasis on the wing by having it stick out. Perhaps, when I make my own coil pot, I don't necessarily have to make it symmetrical.


Peter Garrand is a ceramic artist. One of the things he specializes in is coil pots. He makes swirls out of them and combines the swirls together to for a pot. In my pot, I want to integrate that with other coiling techniques to form a pot.


Pinterest, again, has a lot of interesting coil pot designs created by different artists. Some of them have themes, such as an ocean/undersea theme. Others are more elegant, and other ones have more swirls.
