In this first part, I show you how I handbuild a ceramic baking dish without using a pottery wheel. Using simple tools, I demonstrate beginner-friendly techniques like coiling and slab building to shape the dish, carve floral details, and craft sturdy handles—all entirely by hand.
Part Two will focus on firing, glazing, and unveiling the final result—stay tuned for the full journey!
