Explanation:
What is wheel throwing?
Wheel throwing is the process of forming clay into shapes on a potter’s wheel. It is a common technique for making ceramic mugs, bowls, and plates. The potter shapes and forms wet clay on the wheel, then lets the clay harden and dry a bit to a leather-hard stage before finishing and returning the piece to the wheel for trimming. You can also use the potter’s wheel to add decorative surface design elements like lines, textures, and color by carving or adding slip and underglaze to the clay surface before firing. There are many possibilities when wheel throwing, from creating replicable, functional forms to creating tall, symmetrical shapes and beyond, the possibilities when it comes to wheel throwing are endless. In this guide, we will cover the essential steps to wheel throwing and how to learn to throw clay on the wheel.

to roll the (clay) coils/rings


Explanation:
być może nie chodzi o „toczenie” na kole garncarskim, lecz o ręczne formowanie gliny, tak jak piekarz wytacza ciasto dłonią, a następnie tak uformowanie „kręgi” nakładano jeden na drugi ...

To do this, the potter takes a pliable material (usually clay) then rolls it until it forms a coil, or long pliable cylinder. By placing one coil on top of another, different shapes can be formed. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coiling_(pottery)#
