Fussd back? Sounds tricky, sorry you have it. Not being able to use the wheel makes sense.
I never tried coil. I don't think they offered it as a method.
And you made, like, square, or rectangular tiles?
A former co-worker made tiles, and his wife painted them. Very nice items!

While totally different one of my aunts made wood-block prints. Some would be a single B&W print from small to big.

Other times she made multi-colored ones of at least 3 colors, often a bunch more.
Oh, she was soooo good a printmaker!

When I went to visit her and my uncle in a little village in Western Switzerland she let me pick, and take several prints home! 🥰
