Helpful Hints:
If you notice your dough is very soft and you are having trouble making the coil pot add more salt and flour (in small increments) to the dough then try again.
If you notice your dough is cracking add more water (in small increments) to the dough then try again.

If you don't have paint then just bake it. If you have pieces that would not stay attached then glue your pieces back together after they are baked.
