here are some links to other artists who have made totem poles.
Below: Julia Sanderl's website, where she has made some very interesting totem pole pieces with school children, using coils.

below: the picture of the final poles. They are made from vitrified stoneware clay with oxides. She says she filled a tyre with cement as the base and fixed them onto a basketball pole.

Here are the finished totem poles at St Bernard's Primary School in Coburg.

The children of the school made the parts in groups of two or three.
The theme was the school's birthday and the children decorated their sections to celebrate school activities such as maths, music, lote, sports.

The assembly of the poles was done by Debbie assisted by students.

The ceramic pieces are made with earthenware clay and are decorated with underglazes, and glazed with an earthenware gloss glaze.
