August 31, 2001, Newsletter Issue #53: Variations on Pinch Pots
Tip of the Week
Variations on Pinch pots:
And these be endless. Some examples:
When you are happy with the form and before the leather
dry stage, gently bang the base on a wooden or cloth surface
(so it doesn´t stick) to get a flat base. This is the method
used to square off a piece, too. Or, you can gently, but firmly, tap
the sides of the piece with a wooden spoon, or piece of wood.
Once you have the base flat, roll a coil, and using the same,
joining technique, crosshatch the top of the form and the coil,
apply slurry or water with toothbrush and coil a neck, smooth
coils inside and out. (Remember you need to cut a hole later,
so it is advisable not to go too high!)
