- Second coil going on a 40cm x 40cm plant pot commission I started a few days ago.
Here, I am mixing tips and techniques that I have learnt from many other makers over the years. The base is about 25cm wide just so that you can see the scale of the piece. The onggi wheel head is about 45cm. - Jak na to + styl
You are an inspiration. Thanks 👍😊
Thank you! You are too kind!
Lo del espejo es una idea magnifica
Yes, the mirror is very helpful!
How are you not creating an air pocket when you depress and then fold over the clay at the top edge where you join the next coil. Your clay appears to be very soft and wet, but still, that depression you create and then move clay over it seems like you’d create a air pocket. Please explain why you do this. And thank you for sharing this process, this is a huge pot and it’s beautiful!
Thank you for watching!
Sometimes I hear popping sounds when I squeeze the new coil on the one before so that is to remove them. I have never had problems with air pockets with all the coil pots I have made.
The reasons to decompress the new coil top are
1) two joints (new coil and one before) to fuse better
2) so the new coil top stay in shape and not change shape as I thin the wall.
3) It offers slight thicker surface for the next coil to sit on as you see my colis are so thick!
Your poor hands with all that grog! Looks amazing, though!
At least, I’m not throwing! Thanks for watching
