We got our selves some good old snake pots or coil pots based on Egyptian culture. We used non- baking clay to produce these pots. We first kneaded the clay so all of the air bubbles would come out., the reason for this is so it would be strong when the clay would dry. Then with the kneaded clay we made lumps of clay into strings of clays that we coiled around the base of the pot. using this method was very convenient because you didn't have to worry about pinching holes and ruining your pot. I wrote HOT MESS! on mine because it was very toasty in the art room when I was painting it and it was very messy

An extension activity would be to have the students research other cultures that use coil pots in there day to day life. also have them discover other pottery used in different cultures as well, and give them a shot.
