To make the exposed coil pot I first made a base by flattening some clay then tracing and cutting out a small circle. Then I made a bunch of coils to start with. Then I rolled a couple up to make them look like spirals and layered them on the bottom. Then I made long spirals and put them ontop of the spirals at the bottom. There was then big gaps inbetween each long sprial so I put little balls to fill those gaps. At the end I worked on smoothing the inside of the pot and making the coils neater. A good coil looks smooth and even.
