Pinch Pot
You make a pinch pot by tossing clay within your hands so you can get a smooth round ball. Then you press your thumb down the middle of the clay ball, and pinch around where you pressed your thumb down. When pinching, you use four fingers on the outside of the clay and your thumb on the inside. To make a SUCCESSFUL pinch pot, you need it to be smooth around the edges, and not to thin or thick.
