Make a Southwest Style Sugar Bowl, Coil Pottery Project
Another in my "Practical Primitive" series, this time I am replacing a broken sugar canister. This is a fun project that you can follow along with at home and make this great Southwest style sugar bowl. If you are interested in making this and have questions about what materials and tools to use here is a list of materials and substitutes
A sugar bowl is something everyone can use and the pottery does not need to be sealed to use for dry material storage so earthenware like this works great.
My students and I make pottery together over Zoom every Wednesday evening. Please consider joining us
