an easy way to make a large pot or sculpture in one weekend
Making large pots with flat coils has been done for centuries.
Once the basic method is learned, anyone can make large pots and jars (or any sized functional or sculptural object) using a flat-coil method. Successfully master anything from small jars and teapots to large pots that defy gravity – shapes that would normally collapse if wheel thrown.
