Introduction to Hand builiding: A Coiled Cookie Jar

Coil pottery is often considered the most beginner-friendly method. You don’t need a wheel - just roll your clay into coils, layer them up, and shape them at your own pace.

What You’ll Learn

Prepare your Base: Roll out your slab base. Use a round object like a plate to cut around with a knife to make a perfect circle.

Create Coils: Roll the clay on a lightly damped surface with both hands to create an even coil.

Secure Coils: Learn how to secure your coils by using clay slip and scoring your piece.

Shape Your Pieces: Learn how to build up layers of coils to form the desired shape.

Glaze: Add finishing touch by glazing your final piece.
