  1. Pinch and coil pot construction Ceramic Hand-Building Techniques

  2. Pinch Pots • A bowl or vessel created with one piece of clay • An opening is created by pressing your thumb into the center of the ball of clay • Pinch using your thumb and fingers starting at the base and working your way up to the top • The finished product should look something like this

  3. Coil Pot • A vessel created by attaching and smoothing coils of clay onto a base created from a trimmed slab of clay. • The shape of the base determines the shape of the coil pot. • At least one side of the coils need to be smoothed to secure the structure, but both can be smoothed if desired. • To make the pot expand, place the coils on the outer edge of the rim. • To make the pot shrink, place the coils on the inner edge of the rim. • REMEMBER, always score and slip when attaching a coil from a new piece of clay.

  4. Hand-Building Project Requirements • Design Challenge: How can you create two separate ceramic pieces that interact to form one complete work of art? • CREATE 2 POTS THAT INTERACT IN SOME WAY • 1 PINCH POT (3” HIGH, 3” DIAMETER) • 1 COIL POT (5” HIGH, 3” DIAMETER) • SURFACE INCISED DESIGNS • 2 CONSTRUCTED ELEMENTS (ATTACHED BY SCORRING AND SLIPPING) • ALL SURFACES SMOOTHED WITH WATER AND A BRUSH • AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT COLOR GLAZES

  5. SKETCH • Include: • The Two Pots • Surface Incising Plan • Constructed Elements to be attached • Color Scheme

  6. Begin Constructing
