Pinch Pots
Pinch pots are a great way to start working with clay! Just imagine way, way, way back in primitive times how these forms were created as a functional necessity! Some of the oldest pinch pot forms are over 17,000 years old. . . WOW!
These simple forms can be transformed into a number of different things, both utilitarian and sculptural and I can't wait to see what direction you choose to go with this. If we were in the studio together the primary theme for this unit is musical clay. . . but considering there is a great big world of possibilities with this technique we will branch out and explore some different options as well! Things to consider. . . - adding texture - adding feet - adding handles - nesting bowls - join them together Musical ClayHere are some resources for making musical clay!
