Pinch Pot
This is the pinch pot that I made after finding inspiration for the pattern from Pinterest. The pinch pot was created by taking a lump of clay, and shaping it into a ball. Then, by pressing into the center of the ball with your thumb, you can slowly pinch and pull the sides of the hole you created, widening it into a pot. Using this method to create the general shape of the pinch pot, I then used the bottoms of paint brushes of varying sizes to indent the holes on the outside of the pinch pot, before glazing. I decided to not use any of the patterns that were on my hexagons from the previous project. This was one of the first projects of the year, so I focused simplicity and getting the project done. I had no particular goal for this sculpture, besides getting it done on time. I think that I could obviously incorporate much more detail into my pinch pot, but this minimalist design is also fine.
