Great walkthrough. I'm just getting into Pottery and while I was taught how to build up a pot from coils pretty much as you described it, there was no mention of templates!
This is very informative! I’m going to have a go at making my first ever anything made of clay in years, and this video is both a really good guide and inspiration. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
This is wonderful, very helpful - thank you for sharing this! About how much clay would one need for this size of pot? And how to ensure the pot doesn't start slumping/sagging under the weight of the coils above, while you're building?
Hi there. I tend to make them in stages. I add about 5 coils then let it sit and firm up before I add more. This stops it sagging under the weight. I usually have one on the go at once, so that I can work on another one, whilst the other is firming up. I've never weighed the amount of clay I use for one of these. I just have a 12kg bag and keep slicing off more as I need it. Next time I make one I will try to weigh the clay.

Using the leveler for the neck was a great idea
Great video. I’d live to see it completed with glazing.
Thank you once again for a great informative video. BTW I love the beautiful vase/jar.
Great video! Easy to understand and follow. Thank you very much ❤

Great! I'm glad it helped. Let me know how you get on :)
Nice pot, but I have to say coiling was the thing that convinced me that I had to learn to throw properly!
That's funny Janice. I know what you mean. It's a labour of love.
Wow! What a beautiful work!
Could you put the damp pot on a hand spinning wheel, spin it, and use the template to scrape/smooth the pot?
I wonder how much time it takes without editing?
❤
Lovely
Thanks Angelina :)
I love your chaneel thank you for this vedio

Your new intro is awesome :) Did you get your ruler from toolstation by any chance?
Thank you! I actually don't remember where I got the ruler- it's an oldie!

That was a little painful to watch for a person who does coils in long spirals.
