Coil technique – 2 meetings

This technique has been used for thousands of years to create large ceramic vessels. It's been known all across the world - from China, through Greece, Mexico to Africa. Currently it remains one of the most favoured methods among ceramists. During this class you will learn two variants of this technique - bonding coils with a slip and connecting coils by smearing.
