The Coiling


The coiling method is for forming big pots. It is pretty challenging for me as I had trouble rolling out perfect coils until I learnt a trick that worked well for me. I could not seem to find the rhythm and coordination when I roll the coil on the workbench.They would ended up flat and break easily. I read up on the topic and learnt that I could roll coils in between my hands instead. This  is pretty difficult to do as the coil gets longer. Once the coil is too long to handle, I would then place it on the table to continue.
