Second
Grade Pinch Pots
Second graders created these beautiful clay pots using the pinching
method. Students started with a ball of
clay and used their thumbs to begin the bowl shape. Then they carefully pinched out the walls
concentrating on pulling the clay up toward the top to create even walls and
avoid bottom heavy pots. Even thickness
is important for clay pieces to avoid cracking when drying and firing. These pots were then painted with acrylic
paints, decorated with black marker and topped with a gloss coat.
