SCW Clay Club

In Tom’s Coil Class you will learn how to extrude and build coil pots. His teaching technique is very hands on and he will guide you through the extrusion process, cleaning of the extruder, storage of clay and the actual building process. He will also be available to assist in the glazing process and help if you need assistance using the extruder for future projects. 

He is joined in the classes by fellow teachers Donna Richmond and Gretchen Waller and all are eager to share their expertise and knowledge. Feel free to research the internet for some coil pots that you would like to make, nothing too intricate.

For this class you will need:

1. 25 lbs Redstone or Speckled Buff clay to extrude the first day
2. An airtight plastic container 16”L x 13”W x 6”H
3. Cutting knife
4. Small round sponge
5. 2 old hand towels
6. 20 plastic grocery bags
7. Thumb tool
8. Decorating tools; stamps, rollers etc.,

Note: We should be able to leave coils in the classroom overnight to use the next day.
