wow!! I love your video! You were so clear in explaining and demonstrating every step, and I particularly love how you tell the reason for doing certain techniques. Great video!
❤❤❤ so so beautiful. The way you showed with clear insturctions and also the pots are so beautiful. I used to make thinner coils . This is very cool. I had stopped making coil pots a year ago or so..as i got hooked onto wheel throwing classes .. this video got me isnpired again to make coil pots. And tbe third pot i would definetly like to try . ❤❤❤
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?
Wow! I am literally brand new to pottery. I love how you describe each step so clearly and softly. The pot turned out beautifully and I hope to try making one similar. Thank you for this video. I'm curious. What was the weight of the clay you used to make this pot?
I've just recently started doing pottery (which I enjoy a lot) and I really loved this video and the very clear, helpful instructions! Thank you so much! :)
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.
If it cracks as soon as you start working with it, it was actually too dry to start with. You can test how wet you need your clay by forming it into a small ball and then flattening it. If the edges crack your clay is too dry. The more the edges crack the drier it is. Work some more water into the clay and test again until you can flatten a small ball into a nice crack free circle. Good luck!
Just lovely. Thank you for this very thorough and well thought out presentation. I feel as though I have learned a great deal and plan on incorporating this new found knowledge tomorrow morning. Thank you. Also, I have both “liked” and “subscribed”. 🥰
Thank you so much, this was so easy to follow. You have the best videos I've found - we made a coil headstone to add to our doggie's garden grave - hope it survives firing! thanks again.
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?
Question: have you tried taking things with interesting textures and pressing them against the clay, I never really did any homemade decorations but I think it might be an interesting technique Some examples: Cheap wood Honey comb Pine tree branches Sea shells Unused and unwanted cloth Pretty much anything will work
@@ThePotteryWheel thanks It's been a while since I've seen this video the latest video on the UA-cam channel "primitive technology" shows a alternate to clay It's a mixture of wood ashes and water I just thought that'd interesting y'know?
I'm doing my first pottery dishes and today was a bad day. Everything failed. I only finished one cup, everything else I managed to ruin somehow. I was thinking maybe this whole pottery thing just isn't for me but after watching this, hmm, maybe tomorrow I will give it another try.
Thanks for the video, very simple & well explained! Appreciated. What is it that you are using as a "glue" to join? Is it just a clay & water mixture or an actual glue? If glue, can you suggest which is best?
Hi Michelle, I'm using 'slip' to join the pieces. This is just a mixture of clay and water. Here is a post on how to make slip thepotterywheel.com/how-to-make-slip-for-clay/
Hi Honbee, I'm glad you found the video helpful. I get my clay from a local pottery supplier. You can buy on line though. Happy to put a link in the description above if that would help. Just let me know :)
Hi there, sorry for slow reply. I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean is there a limit to how long you make a coil? Not really, but they do get a bit trickier to handle the longer the coil is...
Meaningful channel! you can go far with this. I admire your hard work! I'm glad i found your channel. fruitful. You have made my day for me. enrolment to your supply of mood maker i've done. I'll leave the door on the latch if you ever comeback?
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.
If you use pottery clay it has to be fired in a pottery kiln. If you use air dry clay it can dry in the air, but won't be waterproof. Let me know if you need any more info about this...
I'm working on a coil canopic jar for class so I thought I would check this out and oh my word, your voice is so pleasant and soothing
I am brand new at this, and I only had one try at it without a good demonstration. Your instructions are EXCELLENT!!! Thank you.
I haven’t made pottery for thirty-five years. I wish I would’ve had a teacher like you. Thank you for uploading this video.
Hi there, I'm glad it was helpful :)
This was helpful 😊
That last vase absolutely beautiful
wow!! I love your video! You were so clear in explaining and demonstrating every step, and I particularly love how you tell the reason for doing certain techniques. Great video!
I absolutely agree. Very detailed video and delightful to watch and to hear! Well done!!!❣️
I hope you have more videos about slab building and other techniques! You're an excellent teacher❣️
Anyone else's ceramics teacher make them watch this???
Yesss
No I search this for idea
Yeah
Not taking classes yet, but if they made me watch this I'd love it (it's a great instruction video).🙂
Yes , I just started yesterday 🎉
Thank you so much this was super helpful! I’m attempting to create a honey pot in my ceramics class and this was beyond perfect

Best explanation ever about using coils. Thank you.
love the voice. needed ideas for my ceramics class, amazing vid!
Thanks Carson :)
I am leaning to make one coil pot for the first time, it’s going great
Enjoyed the video, very relaxing to see you making these beautiful pots, thank you
I just subscribed. You're a great teacher! I appreciate the slow and fast videos.
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 :-)
@@ThePotteryWheel It does help! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing. I'm inspured!
Excellent way to teach
Your pots are gorgeous. Can’t wait to have a go at making something myself!
Thankyou for this I have to make it for my art class ❤️
I love the last pot!! Love your videos!!

Glad it was helpful!
simple, clear directions. thanks - I'm exited to try this out tomorrow am
Wonderful. Can you then fire it in a kiln?
Wow That first part would make cute spiral coasters to match Cool
Thank you so much this is helpful for me thanks a lot ❤❤
The coiling tips are so useful!!
I'm happy it helped :)
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!

Hi Robin, I'm really happy to hear that you feel re-motivated to go to your next class. Thanks for your comment and do let me know how it's going!
Going to have my guys watch this
How do you keep your clay so smooth and uniform? When I start working with it, it usually becomes cracked.
If it cracks as soon as you start working with it, it was actually too dry to start with. You can test how wet you need your clay by forming it into a small ball and then flattening it. If the edges crack your clay is too dry. The more the edges crack the drier it is. Work some more water into the clay and test again until you can flatten a small ball into a nice crack free circle. Good luck!
Its really helpful thank you so much
I made one... It came out amazing..
How much clay (weight) should be used for a beginner's cylinder coil pot? Like for middle school.
So good

you help me learn pottery
thank you so much
thank u this vid is so helpful i have to make an ancient greek pot for school
:D
Hi Denise - I'm glad it helped, I hope your project went well...
Fabulous video!
Very nice. Thanks for the inspiration 🤩
I wonder how you glacé them, can I see how they look when they’re done? Kind regards from Mette in Denmark 🇩🇰
When I make slip castings they gets crack often.. how to prevent it need help.. do we have to put anything in when mixing slips?
You blend the coils
Thank you !!!!
You. Made. My. Day.
So beautiful!!!

Very well explained..thank you ❤
This is good
Love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Question: have you tried taking things with interesting textures and pressing them against the clay, I never really did any homemade decorations but I think it might be an interesting technique
Some examples:
Cheap wood
Honey comb
Pine tree branches
Sea shells
Unused and unwanted cloth
Pretty much anything will work
It's a great idea Aidan.
@@ThePotteryWheel thanks
It's been a while since I've seen this video the latest video on the UA-cam channel "primitive technology" shows a alternate to clay
It's a mixture of wood ashes and water
I just thought that'd interesting y'know?
@@Bleepbleepblorbus Thanks Aidan, I do like the primitive technology videos. He's great. I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip :P

wow your videos are sooo helpful!!! thank you!
I just found your channel. So helpful. Keep it up!
Thanks Moein, glad it's helpful ...
@@ThePotteryWheel I’d be glad to know your comment about my channel 😌🙏🏼
If I wanted to add a handle how would I do that? I'm making a coil mug but I'm not sure how to add the handle. Thank you for help!

can one make coiled pots with air dry clay
Yes, definitely
Can you talk about the ideal clay for coil building along with temperature of firing? Very clear precise approach to your instructions. Thank you
Thank you soooo much!!!!!’ So helpful
How did you make the coil clay?
Did you mix some ingredients
Or you buy it
Cause im a student and im confuse were can i get a coil?
can you let this dry and then use it, or does it have to be fired?
It has to be fired otherwise, it won't be water tight.
so helpful, thanks!
Скажите пожалуйста а можно смазывать дно вазы мукой с водой если у меня нету гипса
Вам нужно соединить глину с помощью глиняного шликера, который представляет собой смесь воды и глины.
where do you get your clay? great video by the way!
Hi Honbee, I'm glad you found the video helpful. I get my clay from a local pottery supplier. You can buy on line though. Happy to put a link in the description above if that would help. Just let me know :)
@@ThePotteryWheel please do, i'd appreciate that greatly!
@@honbeeee I put a link in the description, hope that helps...
Girl how you make it dry without an advance device?
I'm not sure what you mean by an advance device. Do you mean a clay drier?
Which thing you use to joint a clay parts? .
It's just clay slip, which is clay dissolved in water
@@ThePotteryWheel Thanks for your reply😊
Beautiful..
Is there a rule to increase length of coils as you build out?
Hi there, sorry for slow reply. I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean is there a limit to how long you make a coil? Not really, but they do get a bit trickier to handle the longer the coil is...
@@ThePotteryWheel Thanks. That was helpful.
By the all spark i don't know what they continue to force me
who elses art teacher made them watch this?

What is use gam Maam?
hi, do you mean what do I attache the coils together with? If so, its clay slip, which is just clay dissolved in water. Hope that helps
Really super.
I add a lot of water but it keeps on breaking apart

do you cook it?
