Embellished Clay Pinch Pots

Function and Beauty

These whimsical little pinch pots were made by 6th graders.  The students were required to create texture on the outside and inside of the pot.  After the pinch pots were glazed and fired the students embellished them with beads and wire.  Two choices they had were weaving wire in and out all the way around the pot, or creating a handle with the beads and wire. See another project using clay pinch pots here.

A Multitude of Pinch Pots

The 6th Graders are in the process of making textured pinch pots.  They are glazing them with underglazes and after they are fired they will be embellished with wire and beads.  I will post photos when they are finished!
