Do you remember art classes in school? Let’s refresh the memories.

Coiling is an ancient technique that has been used around the world for thousands of years. It is a method that is used for building pottery by hand. It doesn’t require the use of a wheel and is often used to create pots and vessels.

This course will take you step by step, from rolling clay into rope-like shapes, building walls of the pieces, placing them on top of each other one layer at a time, which gives you more control over the shape and you will end up with a beautiful vase. The outcome of this technique is always a unique handmade beauty of imperfection
