Coiling a ginger jar in clay

Coiling is one of the traditional techniques for hand building in clay. In this video I demonstrate how I make a ginger jar shape with lid from coils of clay.
Any questions pop them in the comments 😊

Very nice coil video! But not sure about the lid/ flange/ gallery construction. Can you do a f/u video on the lid construction with a more visible camera angle? Thank you.

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

That's a great idea thanks ☺️ I'll plan that in for a future video.

this is awesome - wondering what the smoothing tool you use is - looks like a popsicle stick with flat ends? Thanks!

It's one of my wooden modelling tools and is very much like a popsicle stick 😃 I get them as part of a set www.potterycrafts.co.uk/Products/potters-tool-kits/R2001%252F10
