  1. CERAMICS Terms and Techniques

  2. TECHNIQUES Pinch A cylindrical ball of clay is opened with the thumb.

  3. TECHNIQUES Pinch The upper walls are thinned by pushing with the thumb from the inside, while supporting the outside with the outer hand.

  4. TECHNIQUES Pinch The bottom is thinned by pushing with the fingers or knuckles of the inner hand toward the outer (support) hand.

  5. TECHNIQUES Pinch The wall thickness is evened (bottom to rim) by rhythmical paddling while slowly rotating the form with the inside hand.

  6. TECHNIQUES Pinch After the clay has hardened somewhat, the lower wall is stretched more, reserving a small amount of clay at the bottom.

  7. TECHNIQUES Pinch Once the clay has firmed up again, the reserve at the bottom is stretched by stroking in the opposite direction.

  8. TECHNIQUES Pinch Then, the form is inverted and paddled to compress the clay and refine the contour of the bottom.

  9. TECHNIQUES Pinch When the bottom is firm, the form is supported in a padded bowl, and paddling of the upper wall is begun.

  10. TECHNIQUES Pinch Subsequent passes refine the curve of the shoulder; eventually, the paddle is used simply to control the amount of stretching.
