How to make a coil pot
Step A
• Create a Base– Flatten out a piece of clay and cut out a base
Wet Clay
Step B
• Coil– think play dough worm
Wet Clay
Step C• Slip and score – Both the coil and the base (or where ever you are
placing the coil
Wet Clay
Step D
• Add texture!– Leatherhard (firm but damp)– Press or scratch into the surface
Leatherhard
Pencil eraser
Step E
• Underglaze– Paint on colors– Bisqueware
Bisqueware
Step F
• Glaze (clear)– Draw a line ¼ inch from the bottom all the way
around your piece– use a paint brush to brush on glaze above the line– Do not glaze the bottom! • (that’s what the line is for)
Bisqueware

Clay stages
• Wet working clay• Leather hard Firm but damp• Greenware bone dry, ready for
d kiln, FRAGILE• Bisqueware Fired once• Ceramic completed glazed pot
Steps to remember1. Build– Base, coil, slip and score
2. Leatherhard– Firm, but damp– Add texture
3. Greenware– Bone dry- ready for kiln
4. Fire5. Bisqueware– Fired once– Underglaze– Glaze
6. Fire
Project
• Use the coil method to create a pot• Must be at least 4in tall• Must have at least 2 different textures• Must be able to hold water
• Examples
Vocab
• Ceramics-made from clay and fired• Pot-made from clay
Clay Stages
• Leatherhard-Firm but damp (good time to add textures
• Greenware-bone dry, ready for kiln, FRAGILE• Bisque-pot that has been fired once
Firing
• Fire- Running clay in the kiln hot enough to fuse particles
• Kiln-Furnace where ceramics are fired• Underglaze-liquid color clay (painted on)• Glaze-liquid that turns to glass in the kiln (painted
on)
Building
• Slab-building with flat pieces of clay• Coil-building with play dough like ropes of clay• Handbuilding- building potter with your hands• Wedging-squishing clay to work out air bubbles• Slip and Score-scratching and watering clay to
attach pieces• Texture-the surface quality (how it feels)
