How to Make Easy Coil Pots

This is how to make easy coil pots. In this video, I cover how to make 3 different types of simple coil pot design. The straight cylinder coil pot, the curved coil pot, and the coil pot with decorative coil designs.
The clay that I'm using here is buff school clay by Potclays. I bought it in the UK from a local pottery supply shop.
If you are outside the UK, something like the following would be a good equivalent:
Stoneware clay: amzn.to/3n4DYLx

I'd guess that making the coils as consistently as you can... without variations in thickness, the more success you'd have. Mine were all wacky!

Thank you! This is an awesome video and has really helped me understand this technique. My coils end up cracking. They feel soft and not dry but they still then end up cracking as I go along building my vase. Can I just go over the cracks with slip? Water?

@janitahall-swadley8169 Ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your very informative videos! If you wanted to smooth the outside as well, would you smooth each coil as you add a new one, or would you wait until the entire pot is done and then smooth the outside?

I tend to add a few coils and the smooth as a go along, hope that helps :-)

Thank you very much for this video. I recently joined a pottery class, then realized right away I was in an advanced class rather than one for beginners. I've paid and don't want to quit, however the first few classes have left me feeling rather lost and very inept. This video is perfect. You did a wonderful job showing exactly how to make the base, join the clay and add decorative components. You have inspired me. I feel I can go to the next class and start my project with confidence.

pottery is really inaccessible in my country, it's quite upsetting how expensive it is. you'll have to rush your work in a 2-3 hour studio session or you'll be paying over $100s just for one piece of work.
