Pinch Pot: Vase

Eye Level
 
Bird's Eye View


  • What does it mean to "slip and score?" Slip and score is when you cut ridges into the clay where you are connecting it to another piece. You then place water onto where you have cut and then connect the two pieces.
  • Why is it important to slip and score two pieces of clay together? It is important to slip and score because it is a good way to connect two pieces of clay together. If you don't then they will break apart later.
  • What steps did you take to make your piece symmetrical?  To make my vase symmetrical, I pinched the sides until it felt like they all were the same. If my vase was leaning more one way then I would bang the bottom of the vase to make it more even and straight.

  1. Slip is actually watered down clay. It works better than just water on most occasions. Your work is coming out great. In the first "eye level picture" your vase looks a bit lopsided. I think you already fixed that after taking this shot, yes?
