This is my functional vessel project. I kept it very simple and went will a small cup design made out of coils. I slipped and scored the coils and stacked them on top of each other to build a tower of some sort. Although the design is simple, I feel as if the coils make it look complicated and different than a normal cup. The coils start smaller, then get a little wider, than go back to small. I used organic and geometric elements of design, this vessel has a spherical shape but it is natural. The coils serve as circles. I used Bernard Leach as inspiration as I think his different ceramic sculptures such as cups and bowls are very unique with nice looking patterns and vibrant colors. He makes all kinds of designs. Anywhere from tea cups to big bowls, to pitchers. As I am not the best artist I don't really like this vessel because it isn't very good. I tried my best to make a cool coil design but I messed up the coils in the beginning, I should've made them larger. At the end the coils started to break when they got too small and I couldn't add anymore, and if I would have made the coils bigger the whole thing would fall apart.
