The Romans stored oil and wine in clay vessels called amphora, and made dishes and pots out of clay. They used a coil technique when making pottery.
Supplies
air-hardening clay
or
paperclay
a little bowl of water
1 Take a clump of clay and work it in your hands to soften it. Start with a very small pot—maybe 3 inches tall—to get the hang of what you’re doing.
2 Roll the clay into long “snakes” or coils—that’s what you’re going to use to make your pot. Make sure the coils are about the same size around from end to end.
3 For the base of your pot, make your clay snake into a tight spiral, starting from the center. When one coil ends, make another one and add it on where you stopped.
