Around Campus - Ceramics: Beginning of the Coil Method Vessel

Posted by Andy Cunningham on September 25, 2023 at 4:45 PM

Students in Andrea Olmstead's Ceramics began working on vessels  using the coil method of pottery - starting with measuring and cutting out the slab base. Coil pottery is a method of handbuilding pottery where a potter forms a base, walls, and style by combining clay coils (or cylinders). The potter rolls the clay into coils, stacks the coils together, and joins the coils through pressure creating a vessel. Learn more about our Fine Art Program here.
