Pinch Pot


This pot was made by the hand-building technique of pinching together the clay to form a pot.  After the pot was fired, I waxed the bottom and dipped it into a glaze which gave it its blueish-green color. I added texture to the pot by using a needle-tool to draw designs in the pot.  On the other sides of the pot, there are different designs which give it more texture.  There are contrasting designs on the other sides as well.  I struggled with dipping the pot into the glaze after the bisque firing and waxing the bottom.
