Pottery - Coils and Extruding
So, last week we learned about using rolled coils to build pots. It's a much older technique and not nearly as pretty as the pinch pots. Rolling the coils reminds me of playing with Playdoh as a kid. Then the teacher of the class showed us this huge extruder - similar to Play Doh toys in the way you push clay through a pipe with a shape to create coils or tubular shapes. Great group of people that I have met in the class and the teachers, Paul and Barbara, are so talented and nice. Last night, we had a work session and just sat there for a couple hours working on projects and getting to know each other. Fun.
