Big round coil pots


This pot is a 20" diameter pot, don't know yet how I will fire it, my electric kilns are 17". I've had a craving for big round pots. This one is inspired by a trip I made to Las Vegas NM, lots different from the Las Vegas, Nevada, this is a historic town with mostly old adobe and clapboard houses. Me and friends visited this interesting old guy named Miguel who I think was a retired doctor. He had this spanish sytle house that was built around a courtyard, it was adobe and he and his wife were rehabbing it. There was a round pot sitting outside his door that has been on my mind since I was there and I've wanted to build some like it for a while. This pot is my first of many I hope that explore the characteristics of the pot I saw at Miguels. The other unforgettable thing about Miguels was his Mango habanero salsa, 12 jalepenos and 1 habenero, it was so good I was crying.

Met you today. I did not know that your kiln actually breathed fire.
