The pinch pots were made with preschoolers. They are imprerfect, yet so charming because of the imperfections. We can literally see their little finger imprints preserved forever. We started by rolling the clay into a ball. Think of making snowballs. They pressed their thumb into the center and then pressed the clay outward to form the shape. It is a quick process, and easy enough to scrap your pot and start over again if you are not happy with the result. After the pots had dried the children painted them with acrylic paint, and I coated them with an air drying polyurethane to add the shine.
