How to Make A Pinch Pot from Clay

Making a pinch pot is a great way to hand build pottery. This is a step by step demonstration of making a pinch pot from clay with a foot ring.

Very well-done. I like the use of the variety of tools that reduces the amount of work with fingers and thumbs, but provides better shape and surface consistency.

wonderful! what kind of clay are you using?

What is your work surface? I'm new to pottery so this might be the dumbest question.

Hi Ginger, that's not a dumb question at all. It's a piece of MDF. A piece of plywood would be fine. I hope that helps.

I prefer throwing pottery, at windows, cars, people ect. I think it's a myth because every time I throw pottery I never get a mug or a vase, just very very angry people? Anyone else have this issue? All kidding aside, I enjoy making pitch pots more than throwing on the wheel, it's something you can do watching T.V. and not with the problem of having to make a huge mess to clean.
