Class > Pinching

Pinching is the very first ceramic pot that you will learn to make. Our tutors will teach you how to prepare a clay and shape it into a ball of clay. Then you can start creating a basic form.

Hold the ball of clay in your hands. Press your thumb in the middle of the ball to create a hold. Expand the hold by squeezing the clay with one hand while rolling the ball of clay with the other. Continue to squeeze until you reach the right thickness and the form that you like. A sample of box made by pinching technique.
