How do I make coils?

Start Handbuilding

Hand-building with standard clay. The possibilities are endless for hand-built ceramics. It requires the use of a kiln (see above). But otherwise the investment needed is very low. Clay itself is inexpensive. ($6-10 per 25 lb bag) A rolling pin, newspapers or cloth, and other ordinary household items are all that are required. With a book on hand-building, most anyone should be able to start making pieces on their own.
