Coiling and Cutting to Make a Lidded Vessel-$39

I taught a virtual workshop through the Ceramics School and here you can find the link to the class. Here is what I will demonstrate:

 In this workshop I will demonstrate how I build my lidded Vessel form using the coil and pinch method. 

I will discuss darting the clay to change the shape and direction of the clay to create an interesting form. 

I will demonstrate how I achieve the line-work on my pieces by cutting the pieces apart as I build and I will finish by building a lid on the form.

Step 1 – working from the bottom up we will create a shallow bowl form. 
Step 2 – we will then dart the clay to change the direction of the clay. 
Step 3 – we will coil and pinch the clay to build up the form. 
Step 4 – we will cut apart the form and reattach the clay to create lines for visual interest. 
Step 5 – we will make the lid seat. 
Step 6 – we will then build and finish the lid on the form.

At the end of this workshop you will be able to make a lid that fits any hand build piece really well.

Required equipment: clay, water, wire tool, scraping tool, xacto knife, rubber rib, paint brush
