get a block of flay and make a ball then sqush it and make like a snake. wrap it around and around, then get a knife and smooth it out, fire it and ur done.

What "Twilight" said... make a clay "snake" and coil it around on itself building higher and higher, smoothing it with wet hands and making sure it sticks together. When you run out of "snake" make another "snake" and joint it to the previous one with wet fingers. You can build the pot wall as high as you like. Fire it and...VOILA!
