To make these pinch pots I first got a big ball of clay and tossed it back and forward in my hands. Then I used my thumbs to create the bowl/pot shape by pressing in the middle of the ball and then around the side. Then I evened it out by using the knife and smoothed it using the rib. What makes a successful pinch pot is taking your time and making sure everything is as even as you can get it.
Organic Pinch Pot
My organic pinch pot was smoother than my first pinch pots because after finishing my first pinch pots I realized I needed to make them more smooth. My inspiration for this project was a pile of leaves. It was fall time when I started my project so I wanted to make something that was relevant to the season.
