Coil-building on the Potters Wheel

In this clay studio video, Cheryl-Ann Webster shares her process for coiling on the wheel — a hybrid technique that blends traditional hand-building with the support of a pottery wheel. Rather than pulling clay up from the base, this method involves adding clay to the rim and compressing downward, allowing for large sculptural forms while protecting the hands and maintaining control over wall thickness. In this video, Cheryl-Ann explains: How and why she adds coils at different angles Compressing and strengthening the rim Blending coils inside and out Using ribs for shaping vs scraping Managing moisture, grog, and drying time The ongoing tension between intuition and kiln size This isn’t a polished tutorial — it’s a real-time look at how I think, feel, and respond while building. Thanks for being here — and keep creating.
