Vase with a unique touch

A very versatile technique in pottery is the coil method which, as the name suggests, uses thin clay rolls. Firstly you shape thin rolls out of the clay which are then put together/on top of each other to form bowls, cups or other items. The base of the vase is cut out of a rolled out piece of clay and the thickness of the clay rolls depends on your own personal preference. Basically, though, thicker clay rolls are more suitable for larger items whereas thinner rolls look more decorative for smaller works. The thickness also determines the end weight.
