The coil building workshop at McCheek's Studio teaches students to build tall, organic forms from rolled clay coils joined and blended together, a technique that allows for more freedom in shape and scale than slab construction while still producing functional and decorative pottery. The instructor demonstrates proper coil thickness, blending technique, and strategies for keeping the walls even as the form grows taller, then students work on their own projects with help available throughout. The class is especially popular with students interested in sculptural ceramics and those who find slab work too geometric.
