Clay Coil Bowls- Part one

The video tutorial guides students through the process of creating a clay coil bowl. It begins with preparing the clay mold using Styrofoam bowls and labeling them. Students learn to create and roll clay coils, ensuring they are of equal thickness. The tutorial then covers spiraling the coils to form the bowl's base and filling any gaps with small clay balls. The inside of the bowl is smoothed while maintaining the coil designs on the outside. Finally, the video instructs on proper cleanup and storage of materials to prevent the clay from drying out.
