New Pottery, Pinch Pot Technique

Also known as thumb pot, pinch pot is one of the oldest pottery technique on earth. All you need is a ball of clay and your hands. You start with making a deep hole in the center of the ball with your finger and then pinch the walls up going in a spiral motion to make sure their thickness is uniform from bottom to top.

This time I made several bowls and cups. After my pots were close to leather-hard stage, I carved their exteriors with a ribbon tool and attached bottom rings, handles to cups and gravy boats, and legs to salsa bowls.

Here are some them.

A tea cup:

 

A milk cup:

 

Three legged salsa bowls:

A gravy boat:

A bowl:

A cup and a cactus planter:

All of these were bisque fired to cone 04 and then glaze fired to cone 5.
