Bottom Of The Sea
I had to create three pinch pots; a normal pinch pot, a pinch pot with a fort, and a sculpture. The two pinch pots were pretty easy to do but the sculpture took some thinking. I decided to do something like a fish tank. Flip a pinch pot on its side and make it look like a fish tank and add a turtle and some plants.
I started with three balls of clay, one for each pinch pot. In the normal pinch pot, I just had to make a hole with my finger and pinch the clay until it made a pot I liked. In the second pot, I did the same process but when I got my desired shape I took a snake and flattened it out, and attached it to the bottom of my pot to make a fort. In my last pot, I did the same process but I used more slay to create a bigger pot and I placed it on its side and flattened it out. From there I went and attacked my turtle and plants into the pot.
This was a formative introduction to the next project in which we have to use many pinch pots to create whatever we want. This technique is a very easy and effective way to make pots and practically anything. We see this in our next project.
