Double Pinch Pot

        After learning how to construct a pinch pot, we later learned how to put two pieces together. When I finished making both pinch pots alike, I put them together by brushing on slip with a toothbrush on both tops of the pots then I placed them together by squeezing each tip so that it is equally aligned. Next, I used a wooden tool to blend the outside so that the pieces will go together. After I was done with that, I used my fingers along with water to make the pinch pots tips vanish so that it will look like one piece. To blend the insides, I opened the top piece from its foot with a metal tool and used my hands to open it wide enough so that I could blend the insides. To decorate the piece I constructed tiny coils and place them on the piece by putting slip on both the pot and the coils. I made the coils on the piece to symbolize vines and flowers. Some of the flowers look like leaves because it was a little tricky to make them big enough. When I was finished I made the surfaces smooth.





The technique I used to glaze this piece was the dipping and pouring. First I waxed the foot of the piece. Then I used basic white to pour inside then I shook it and spilled the leftovers back in the container. Next I dip the whole piece in the glaze then immediately wiped off the parts where I wanted to glaze it a different color. For the flowers I used magenta and the vines I used satin green. I glazed these using a brush.
