Coil building, step by step.
My first Jug! It took me two days (built the base yesterday, let it dry overnight, then built the top today. I thought I’d take some pictures and show how I’ve learned to coil build here in Japan. Anyone else out there build pots by hand?
This is so cool! I would love to learn this technique, I would love to make more symmetrical and smooth coil pots.
Hey yo! I just finished this pot today!! I hand built it with coils and smoothed it on the wheel. It’s almost 3 feet tall. Then I carved the owl for 2 days! My hand seriously felt like it was going to fall off.
I’m so happy with it! :D I will be bisque firing tomorrow! Woohoo!
I plan to throw some stain on the owl part and leave it unglazed so you dont lose any detail. Will post pictures when it’s finished!
This is gorgeous!
