Today we started a new unit: clay! I'm really excited about it, and I've already more or less started what I want to be my assignment. We were learning about different techniques of making cups (or similar vessels). One of them was making a slab (alternatively cutting slits in it), the other was putting coils of clay atop each other in the cup shape you want, and smoothening it out.
My idea was to join the coils together into one continuous coil, and not smoothening out. By leaving the bottom end of the coil sticking out, and adding a head to the other end (and adding the bottom of my cup of course), I would have a snake cup!
I also had some other ideas, whose sketches (not very good, I must add, as they were part of my brainstorm..) I have added below: (I'm sorry it's a bit weak, but it was pencil sketch, so that's how it came out of the scanning)
