I tried a technique recently by adding a continuous clay coil to the outside, then adding some texture. Here’s how it turned out!
**Step-by-Step Tips:** (once you’ve your thrown your piece)
1. **Prepare the Surface:**
– Score the surface of your thrown piece lightly before applying the coil. This helps it stick better.
2. **Apply the Coil:**
– Gently press the clay coil onto the scored surface.
– Use a wooden tool (like a wooden thumb) to pinch and secure the edges of the coil to the wall, similar to coil building.
3. **Rest Your Pot:**
– Let your thrown pot rest for about 10 minutes before adding the coil. This allows the walls to harden slightly and support the extra weight. You can then add some texture by using the same thumb tool you used before. This will allow you to add highlights to your base glaze ash shown with this beautiful pot
4. **Slow Drying:**
– Dry your piece as slowly as possible. Use a plastic bag to slow down the drying time, ensuring even moisture distribution and minimising the risk of cracking, especially with varying wall thickness.
