Narrative Coil VesselDecide what shape you want your coil vessel to be

Use cardboard (or just thicker paper) and create a cut out of the profile of your piece.Check often as you build to keep you on track

Start building your final pieceCheck the profile often!Make sure you let it get leather hard before getting too tallSmooth it out every couple of inches. I shouldn’t see your coils in the end.

Let it get bone dryCover in black underglaze (3 coats!!)

You can leave the inside uncovered if you want a POP of color (You’ll glaze that later!)

Draw your design (your illustration for your story or your zentangle design) on the black slip using chalkUse the etching tools to carve out your design.

What you see is what you are going to get! The underglaze will not change in the kiln!

Be careful with the slip – you won’t want to press/smooth too much to make the textures disappearTry using cut coils, braiding two coils together, different colored clay, etc.
