Ceramics: The Coil Method

Posted by Andy Cunningham on October 28, 2024 at 2:45 PM

Students in Andrea Olmstead's Ceramics put some final touches on vessels  using the coil method of pottery. 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.
