- Throw the ball back and forth in your hand while Cupping it and forming a ball shpae.
- Next, press your thumb into the center of the ball to create an opening (Circle or square form).
- Leave at least 1 centimeter of clay at the bottom to form the base of the pot.
- Keep pinching the pot until you form a wide enough opening and the surface is even.
- BE CAREFUL -- CLAY REMEMBERS!!! Below are the wonderful pinch pots I created in class :)
Below is a pic of the cactus that I based my pinch pot off of when I was creating it. I chose this picture to be my inspiration for my pinch pot because it is my favorite kind of cactus in Arizona. I believe the pinch pot that I created resembles the shape and details of my inspiration picture.
