My pinch pot turned out the way I envisioned it for the most part. I like what I came up with; it is just the little details that are bothering me like a little lump or a line that is not perfectly straight. The clay responded how I wanted it to mostly. Dry clay was harder to work with so I tried to get the clay on the pot in the same period as I got it out of the clay room. If I could change it I would smooth out the bottom and make the inside a bit nicer.
Scoring a pinch pot happens when you scratch two pieces of the pot so that the grooves will fit together. Slip is a fine type of clay that is put on the two scored edges and around them to make the two pieces become one. If a pinch pot is not slipped and scored then the pieces will not stay together.
Making a pot symmetrical has been a process with my pot. A process that is not even close to done. To make my pot symmetrical I started out with a ball of clay and I tried to keep it symmetrical as I worked. It has worked relatively well. I just have a few kinks to work out.
