Pinch Pot
To make a pinch pot you first grab a handful of clay. Then you roll up your clay into a ball. A good technique is to throw the ball in between your hands and then roll the clay around on the table. Once your clay is in the ball you take your thumb and push a hole into the ball. Finally you start pinching from the bottom to the top. The goal to making a successful pinch pot if for the walls to be even, thin, and smooth.
