Pinch Pots
In order to make a pinch pot, first, cup the ball in your hand and toss it around for a bit in order to remove any air bubbles. Next, gently press your thumb into the center of the ball to create an opening. If you accidentally pinch through the base of the pot, roll the clay into a ball again and start over. Once you have successfully done that, next, press your fingers together, put your thumb in the middle and take your finger pad and go around the middle creating a larger opening. Do this until your pinch pot is a size that you like. |
