coil bowls

The fourth graders made bowls using just spiraled clay coils.
1. roll long pieces of clay into coils (much like pretzel makers do)
2. spiral them and place them in a plastic bowl so that they touch
3. smush the coils so that they touch completely and fill any negative space
4. finally, blend the coils together. this step eliminates slip and scoring

...add some glaze and voila!
