Pinch Pot
How to make a pinch pot
Step 1 - Make your clay into a ball the size of a baseball by throwing it back and forth with your hands.
Step 2 - Put your thumb in the middle of your ball of clay and push down until you are almost to the bottom.
Step 3 - With your thumb still inside, put your fingers on the outside of the clay and squeeze around the edges until you have a pot-like structure.
Step 4 - Smooth the sides to get rid of any finger marks.
A successful pinch pot has even sides and a not too thick, not too thin bottom.
