I decided I needed to do something different the other day. The slab work was not”floating my boat” the wheel work was making me dizzy and I was all accented out. So I decided to go back and make some pots they way I started out making them by COILING.Not only was it relaxing, threaputic and a little time consuming compared to other methods of making pots, I had so much fun making this way again. The pots are still green at the moment but I thought that I would post a few of them for your deliberation. I was pleased with the results…

When I first started coiling I squeezed and rolled the coils by hand. Now I have the luxury of an extruder and it makes the coil production so much faster, leaving time to concentrate on the pot itself.Here is the last one which was a challenge to coil to say the least, but I got there in the end, sorry the pic is a little blurry. The pots will be fired in a few weeks along with many others. I shall post when fired.

These pots are all around the 30cm x 24cm mark.
Here are some bigger pots approx 50cm x 40 ish. They are “green” at the moment so they will shrink a little
