Practising Clay and 3D Craft
Practice and revise: combining pinch, coil and slab techniques to build more complex clay forms.
Core concept
Combining the pinch, coil, and slab methods allows us to build more complex forms, such as a pot with a coiled body, a pinched spout, and a slab-based base or lid.
How it works
Proper preparation of clay (kneading out air bubbles), controlled drying, and sometimes firing in a kiln are important steps for making clay craft pieces durable and long-lasting.
