Pit Fire Part 2

I used coiling for this pot and I hated it. I started out with a giant block and just made a bunch of long coils and stacked them together. It was really hard to get nice and smooth because there were a bunch of little worm clay pieces on top of each other. Burnishing made it look a lot better. 

This technique is different from regular firing because everything is put together in an actual fire. I didn't like pit firing because I don't like how inconsistent/mysterious the process is; I like knowing what my piece is going to look like. I put stuff on the inside of my piece and now it's black and chalky. Yucky.
