Pinch and Coil Skillbuilder: Adding Surface Design to the vases and bowls in Ceramics I

This video is a follow up video to the pinch and coil vase and bowl skillbuilder. In this video, I show several examples of how to add surface design to the vases and bowls through the means of additive and subtractive techniques through slabs and sculptural elements, texturing through carving, slip trailing, and carving and sculptural carving. I made this video for my Ceramics I students at Mason High School. This is the second exercise (non-graded) that the kids do in clay for their semester Ceramics I class. They are adding to their learning and building skills they will use throughout the semester. The learning goals are to add surface design to their forms, reinforce the technique of pinching, while adding coils for additional height. They will learn how to roll round even coils, and score, slip, and blend them to the pinched forms. They will then learn how to shape the forms, and in some cases, paddle the forms by stretching the clay in the direction they want the form to go. We are using St
