I learned coil building 5 years ago, and there’s something so primal and organic about it, one coil at a time, one layer at a time.
To understand that it’s a language of its own, passed down from generations. Still living and evolving!

The Nok culture, one of Africa’s earliest known civilizations, flourished between 1000 BCE and 300 CE in what is now Northern Nigeria.
Archaeologists have uncovered Nok terracotta sculptures in 7 states: Kaduna, Niger, Kano, Katsina, Bauchi, Plateau, and Nasarawa.
These remarkable figures, humans and animals, were made using coil-building techniques, and fired at high temperatures, creating resilient terracotta that has lasted over two millennia.
The Nok people were also skilled ironworkers, forging tools and weapons that shaped their communities and trade networks. Remarkably, they skipped the Bronze Age entirely, moving directly into iron smelting.

In these times of immense censorship of artists, of immigrants, of voices that challenge systems, feeling rooted is an act of resistance.
