Creating Coiled Pottery

Creating coiled pottery is a different technique from that of standard pottery made on a pottery wheel. This type of pottery is made by molding a piece of clay into a small coil (about the size of a pencil). Then this coil is wound round and round to form pottery to the diameter and height preferred. The exterior and interior of the pot are then smoothed to create the texture and design desired.
