Traditional Coil Pots made with a Puki

Saturday, September 26th| 6:00–8:30 PM | $90 

All supplies + glazing + firing included

In this class you will learn the technique used by Native Americans called a puki, which is a shallow dish. It is used to keep the bottom stable and rounded when forming the coil pot by hand. We will explore techniques of coiling and adding handles/embellishments by riveting the pieces together. This will create a functional serving bowl using traditional clay coil techniques. We’ll explore how to build form through layering coils, shaping curves, and refining surfaces to create a bowl that’s both beautiful and usable.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through building a strong foundation, creating even coils, and shaping your bowl with intention. Along the way, we’ll talk about balance, thickness, and subtle design choices that elevate a handmade piece. No wheel work required, this class focuses fully on handbuilding and slowing down with the material.

All supplies are included. Finished bowls will be fired and ready for pickup at a later date.

Skill Level: Beginner-friendly, all experience levels welcome

Perfect for anyone who loves functional art and wants to create something meaningful for everyday use.
