By the way, you can eat marzipan....for those who don't know what it is. We make candy out of it in Germany.
Marzipan's claylike texture makes it a wonderfully workable medium for creating coil pots.
Materials
• Marzipan (available at grocery stores)
• Food coloring
Step 1:
Cut the marzipan into four even pieces, then knead 6 to 8 drops of various food colorings into each piece.
Step 2:
Roll the blocks into "snakes." Form the pot's base by winding a snake into a spiral about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, then layer additional snake coils to form sides. When the pot is at the desired height (not too high, or it may collapse), gently pinch the sides so that the coils stick together.
Step 3:
For the lid, wind another snake into a spiral and press a half ring of marzipan into the center for the handle.
Step 4:
Use any leftover marzipan to make objects for inside the pot, such as fruits or vegetables.
