Assignment 1: Textured Pinch Pots with Lids or Spheres
First, students will complete a review pinch pot assessment.
Next, students will make two pinch pots (bowl shaped with the same sized rim opening. Pinch pots will be scored, slipped and blended together. Then a knob for the lids will be added, and feet if desired. Students will then cut the pot open with a wire tool creating a wavy, organic cut, so the lid will nest well. After, the pot will be painted on the outside with colored slip or underglaze. Then a pattern will be drawn and carved on the outside. The inside will be glazed a color of choice. If making the sphere, students will create pressed textures on the sphere as well as incising (cutting out shapes). |
