How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the outer diameter of the pot in inches (e.g., 6 in for a medium vase).
- Set the desired pot height in inches from base to rim.
- Enter your target wall thickness in inches — 3/8 in is typical for most hand-built pieces.
- Set the coil diameter in inches (the thickness of each rolled coil before pressing).
- Read the total coil length in feet for both wall coils and the base spiral.
- Use the wet clay weight estimate to decide how much clay to wedge before starting.
