Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to this question is that the Coil Method, allows the potter to create pots of various sizes, and various shapes that are sturdier than those that are created by the simple hand method. These rolls, or coils, which are the bases of the technique, are what gives these bases and ceramic artwork their particular shapes and make them sturdier than those created with the simple hand, or tool, technique.

Explanation:

Although the Coil Method is just another of the different styles of pottery creation, research shows that it is a technique used by potters mostly because it allows them to control clay easily and it permits the creation of shapes that would not be possible with other techniques. This research also shows that the coil technique allows potters to add height to their ceramics in ways that other techniques do not, and finally, it is a technique that can be easily combined with others to create really magnificent pieces.
