Description: Follow our step-by-step guide to building a coil pot with ceramicist Freya Bramble-Carter. For further tips and details about this activity, visit our website at 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. Subscribe for weekly films: goo.gl/X1ZnEl
