Start with a slab of clay and use a plastic cup to cut out a circular base. Next, start to make your coil by taking small amounts of clay and rolling them into small, even, snake-like coils that can be rolled up to make spirals or other designs you can add to your pot by squishing the clay together if the clay is wet enough. If the clay is drier, use the scratch and score method. (scratching the clay with a toothbrush or needle tool, and adding a wet clay solution). Keep adding different designs until you are happy with your piece!
