DEVELOPMENT

PINCH POT CHECK OFF

Pinch Technique- a simple form of hand-made pottery produced from ancient times to the present.The process begins with a ball of clay. Thumbs are pushed into the center, and then rudimentary walls are created by pinching and turning the pot.

​Follow the instructions on the video and the printed version on your table to create a pinch pot. You must cut the pinch put in half and show it to Ms. Gray in order for you to get your 5 points.

SCORE AND SLIP

Score and Slip- refers to a method of joining two pieces of clay together.
             - First, 
score the clay; this means that you make scratches in the surfaces that will be sticking together.
             - Then you 
slip it; that is you wet the surface with some slip, using it like glue.
​             - Next, you press the two pieces together.
