Clay Sculpture: Altered Pinch Pots

Students were very excited for their clay sculpture unit this semester. They learned about 3 main hand-building techniques: pinch pot, coil, and slab. For our summative assignment, students were required  to make a pinch pot (open or closed), but then, they could make it into whatever their hearts desired! A closed pinch pot is made by joining 2 opened pots together to create a hollow cavity. When students were finished sculpting, sculptures were fired, and ready to be glazed. Students chose from over 60 different colors to glaze their work. Check out some examples of our final products!
