Pinch Technique

Artist statement:

For this project we had to create something with five pinch pots. I decided to make a vase made out of different textured pinch pots. First I made the pinch pots then when I assembled them I started with smaller pinch pots on the bottom, then they gradually got bigger and then smaller again. I added patterns/textures to each of the pinch pots to make sure it was obvious that there are five different pinch pots. Once I slipped and scored each pinch pot I cut out the bottom of the pinch pots. For this project I decided to use blues and greens: C-27 (Storm), C-20 (cobalt), PC-23 (Indigo Float), and V-353 underglaze, PC-49 (Frosted Melon).

Overall I really like how this project came out. I really like how all of the colors and patterns came together. If there was one thing I could change I would want to shape the vase better so the edges lined up a little better.
