Follow our stepbystep guide to building a coil pot with ceramicist Freya BrambleCarter. For further tips and details about this activity, visit our website at https://bit.ly/34Sa5Gc. Please note, filming took place before the UK's lockdown measures were introduced.

The whole process can take up to a couple of weeks, depending on the speed in which you wish to work and drying times, and is suitable for anyone who is new to pottery.  

You will need:
a metal kidney palette (or a plastic card for the smooth edge and a fine, plastic hair comb for the serrated edge)
a potter’s knife
mark making tools (tweezers, chopsticks, a fork and kitchen knife work well for decor work)
a toothbrush
some paintbrushes
a selection of letter stamps
a turntable
some water
a cheese wire (or thread /string strong enough to slice through clay)
a cloth or tea towel
a rolling pin and measuring guides
earthenware or stoneware clay
a sponge
a pencil and paper
sandpaper
scissors
soluble wax (or masking tape)
transparent glaze
a selection of coloured slips, oxides and underglazes

All of the materials are available mostly online or at your local art supply shop. You will also need access to a pottery kiln. You can often find these at art colleges or other community groups.
