Rolling a Clay Coil (not my hand!)
Notice how the coils have been moulded into round circles and then stacked up on top of one another
Slabs of clay have been cut out here. little marks are then scratched into the clay where they are going to be joined ( to add a bit of friction and grip).
Look at the pot of clay- this is called slip, it's just a watered down version of clay and is applied to the areas that need to be joined, it works a bit like glue- sticking at all together!
very good how do you make them 3D
ReplyDeleteThe square pots were made using 6 squares of flat clay joined together to make a 3D cuboid. The round pots were created using a technique called 'coiling' -where long thin coil and gradually built up to make a pot. I will post some pictures to show you what I mean :)
