Ceramic Coil Pots

Ceramics Studio (Trim 221)

Part 1: Thursday, January 29, 5:00PM - 7:00PM

Part 2: Thursday, February 6, 5:00PM - 7:00PM

Coil building, used since 8,000 BCE across cultures from Greece to Sub-Saharan Africa, allows for more complex and larger ceramic forms than other hand-building techniques. In this two-part workshop, you’ll learn to coil and decorate a small hand-built vase or sculpture using various coiling techniques. In the second session, we will learn how to glaze the pieces to finish them.

Note: Coiled pots are more prone to cracking than other ceramic methods. While the studio follows strict procedures to minimize risks, we cannot guarantee pieces won’t crack during firing. Clay is messy – please dress accordingly.

FREE. Registration required. Workshop is open ONLY to Babson, Olin, Wellesley students, faculty, and staff.
