There are several ways for making clay pots. One is on a potter's wheel. Another is called "pinch pot," meaning shaping the clay with fingers. For coil pots the clay is rolled into strands like rope. Then it's coiled to make the sides of the pot, using slip (water+clay) to join the coils. Then the walls are smoothed.
