Summary
This book is about coiling, a way of building pots in which the form grows by the addition of clay in layers, one upon another.
There are surprisingly few ways of making pots: slabbing, coiling, throwing, casting, molding and pinching cover most of them. Some are purer than others: for example, a thrown pot is made almost entirely on the wheel; and in casting a pot a particular, limited process is employed. When it comes to coiling it is harder to contain the technique because it spills over into other methods: the clay may be pinched, the coils may be slab-like, the bases may be thrown or molded. There is a freedom in hand-building which, like most creative processes, can be as inventive, limited, spontaneous, formal, disciplined or careless as the maker chooses.
