How to coil a big pot (part 1) - Coiling technique

40cm x 40cm plant pot commission I am making a start on.
Here, I am mixing tips and techniques that I have learnt from many other makers over the years. The base is about 25cm wide (not 35cm, as I accidentally said in the video) just so that you can see the scale of the piece. The onggi wheel head is about 45cm.

Hello Sae-Won, I'm loving your videos. Thank you. Can you describe the clay body you use and what cone temp you're firing at? Please excuse me if one of your other videos explains this already. I have only recently discovered your channel and haven't watched every post yet. Thank you!

Hello Jen! Thank you watching!
Clay body is called Craft Crank from Potclays, a UK company, which has a lot of grog in the clay. Lovely to handbuild large pieces but too rough for me to throw. I fire to 1240C (approx. cone 7) but the clay can take up to 1300C (approx. cone 10). Hope this is helpful :)

Have you tried keeping the paddle in the same position (and dropping it) whilst turning the wheel with your other hand?

[@leesaewon]

You could do it either way I guess :)

Where can I buy this wooden kick? I really want it, thank you.

[@leesaewon]

The wheel was custom made in South Korea. You might be able to get one made where you are. Here is a video showing the different components of the wheel

The tool you made to flatten the base looks scorched. Why is this done?

[@leesaewon]

Ha, I see what you mean! It's actually wet wood. These tools are kept in water so they don't crack.

What type of clay was used?

[@leesaewon]

craft crank (very grog heavy) from Potclays, a UK supplier. Thank you.
