Pottery + Handbuilding: Adding Coil Details

Heyo! Happy New Years and welcome back! Today I will be constructing a hand-built coil detail onto a wheel thrown bowl. I’ll show you how I design, attach and support the coils. This is the first video tutorial in a 4-part series I am making for my Pottery 3 class. The focus is on ways to alter wheel thrown pots to add unique embellishments. Some of the students in this class have never used clay for aesthetic or sculptural details, so this should be a fun and exploratory unit. Enjoy!

Thank you for this neat video. On Monday I have a child wanting to make coiled handles on a little slab tray - this will be great to show her.

[@MissLinneaLark]

I am so glad you and your students will be able to use it!!

It's like architecture, actually it is! When you have a great idea you can always find a way to execute it well if you have the talents and patience :) Great vids!

[@MissLinneaLark]

Thanks! I totally agree.

[@totallyforsure]

hi! can you make a video on how you make the actual coil? i’m having some trouble creating evenly sized coil snake pieces to work with. xx

[@MissLinneaLark]

Yes... I'll put it on the list! I have been spoiled with our extruder. But during the pandemic I was teaching kids to hand coil via zoom, lol. Some of them actually preferred it.

Just found your videos and I’m so glad I did!! Informative, funny and well executed! I love the mat you’re working on. Who made it?

[@MissLinneaLark]

I love my self healing mats! If I could buy another I would make sure it has a circle on it because I like using those to measure my pots to paint patterns. Here're some: www.amazon.com/s?k=cutting+mat+24+x+36&crid=NEZLLBGCP61&sprefix=cutting+mat%2Caps%2C141&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_11
