Using the coiling technique,I have made this clay holder. It was fun making this product because it bent while drying. I must say this technique is a bit tricky. You must analyse the wetness of the clay and decide how to coil it up. Coiling technique is simple, something which we have been doing since childhood I must say, but making them into pots is another thing. placing the coils carefully one on top of the other and securing them in a way that they do not split apart is all that is needed to make this pot.
The foundation or the base is the most important thing in the process. one the foundation coil is laid, the first layer of coil is placed. After that the first layer and the base need to be joined together by squishing the clay from both the base and the coil to make a solid contact. Then the next layers of coils are placed.
After drying the layers easily stick to each other and form a nice cute little pot.
