This video shows how to make a smooth coil pot using a simple template that you can easily make yourself.
Templates are great if you want to make an even shaped, symmetrical piece of pottery. It's easy to go a bit wonky if you aren't careful when making coil pottery. A simple template can help keep you on track and avoid that sinking feeling when you stand back and notice your pots a bit wonky!

Great walkthrough. I'm just getting into Pottery and while I was taught how to build up a pot from coils pretty much as you described it, there was no mention of templates!

Great video. I’d live to see it completed with glazing.

This is very informative! I’m going to have a go at making my first ever anything made of clay in years, and this video is both a really good guide and inspiration. Thank you for sharing! 🙂

Using the leveler for the neck was a great idea

Nice pot, but I have to say coiling was the thing that convinced me that I had to learn to throw properly!

That's funny Janice. I know what you mean. It's a labour of love.

Could you put the damp pot on a hand spinning wheel, spin it, and use the template to scrape/smooth the pot?

I wonder how much time it takes without editing?

This is wonderful, very helpful - thank you for sharing this! About how much clay would one need for this size of pot? And how to ensure the pot doesn't start slumping/sagging under the weight of the coils above, while you're building?

Hi there. I tend to make them in stages. I add about 5 coils then let it sit and firm up before I add more. This stops it sagging under the weight. I usually have one on the go at once, so that I can work on another one, whilst the other is firming up. I've never weighed the amount of clay I use for one of these. I just have a 12kg bag and keep slicing off more as I need it. Next time I make one I will try to weigh the clay.
