Creating Coils:
Use even pressure when rolling OR squeeze hanging vertically
Uniform
shape & long enough to fit around edgeThumb Thick
**Clay must be very plastic!!!!!!!**Slide6
Adding to Base
Base 3/4”
thick for carving (based on size of vessel & foot)
Score & slip to base (magic water!)
Smooth
downward
& each
coil at a time
(Pinky
Thick after
smoothing)
***DO
NOT
PINCH!!!***Slide7
How do you create a shape like this using coils?????Slide8
Vertical Building
Equal Overhang on both sides!!!
Coils Stacked DIRECTLY on top of each otherSlide9
How would we create
curves like this?????Slide10
Inward Outward
Overhang ONLY on inside
Overhang ONLY on outside
Building
BaseSlide11
Slip
& Score to base
, every coil after:
score & water as glue**Option: (ONLY if good at smoothing /sealing the seam between coils AND clay is very plastic) score + water as glue can be skipped
LEVEL your vessel:
when changing direction
& when
building is
done
After every coil
:
Smooth with rib, check symmetry
& directionStiffen as needed to preserve form, & Paddle
as necessary
Do this…Slide12
Stiffen
until
leather hardPaddle to correct form: from bottom up
!!! (when stiffened)Shave to reduce weight in EVEN
layers
Add Foot or Rim
Smooth
all surfaces
Refining The FormSlide13
