This is my Beehive Coil Pot. While creating this pot, I learned the weight of clay is a big part of the piece you are working on and eventually things will sag. Due to this, after I was 5 inches up, I realized that my pot was turning into a coil bowl and i had to start making smaller coils so the pot would curve inward. After the first firing, I was given comments that it looked like a beehive, so i decides to mix low fire glazes yellow and orange to make a beehive looking coil pot. I am very satisfied with the way it came out.
