Coiling is a pottery technique where clay is rolled into thin coils and wrapped around each other to build up forms layer by layer. To make coils, a piece of clay about the size of a fist is rolled out on a flat surface until it reaches the desired length, then wrapped around the base of a sculpture to start building up the shape through successive wrapped coils.
