Coiling is an ancient pottery technique where long, rolled coils of clay are stacked and smoothed to form walls or sculptural shapes. Coiling allows for excellent control over height and contour, making it a versatile method for building large vessels, organic forms, or textured pottery. It’s accessible for beginners yet powerful for advanced sculptural ceramics.
