Pinch Pot
Although a very simple design, pinch pots are unique and beautiful. Pinch pots are created by sticking your thumb into a round ball of clay, then evenly pinching the edges, forming a small pot. This technique takes patience and precision. A successful pinch pot has even edges, and an even top with a design on the outside. This project is fairly quick, but the outcome is very sophisticated and pretty. In these two pinch pots below, I used unique designs to make a creative pinch pot. To create these designs, I used various tools and pushed it up against the clay, leaving that design.
