1. Take a small piece of clay and put it on the center of the turn table.
Spread clay to the size of the object you intend to create.

Mine is a rice bowl.
2. Make coils by hand or extruder. Then pile a coil up on the base.
Whatever you make, cup, bowl, plate etc… please add up the coils and make cylindrical shape until you reach the height of the object you want. You can widen the edge or adjust the shape for the last step. Also keep in your mind that you should make the coil thicker than you image. This is because the pottery can be failed, if the coils are thin. Now, let’s move on making.
