pinch pots

Pinch pots are handcrafted clay containers made by shaping the material with your fingers and hands. The process involves pressing and pinching the clay into a desired form, often starting with a ball that is gradually shaped into a vessel by pinching the sides and smoothing as needed. This traditional technique allows for creative customization of size and shape, producing unique, organic forms. Once shaped, the pot is dried and fired in a kiln to become durable. Pinch pots are valued in pottery for their simplicity and the craftsmanship involved, often serving as functional or decorative objects.
