P I N C H P O T S



Looking into a pinch pot can be a fascinating
experience...


But quite different from seeing one
from the outside!


Terra sigillata, underglaze lines and raw clay
add to the wonderment of the exterior...


Inside: Mirror Black glaze with waxed resist squares
(look carefully and you'll see them)


Bronze Chocolate syrup look in;


Subtle green infinity lines out...


Multiple matte glazes of red and black...


Scroddled clay with carved lines outside
accented with red copper stain... 


But inside, an explosion of deep sea blues!


Several participants chose to layer glazes inside...


Or use the same glaze on the inside 
as well as the outside textures...



And some like Judy made their pots into
catchalls with interesting textured collars...

CLAY CAMP 2019

What could be more fun 
than spending three whole days 
simply playing in the mud!


On day two we began making Oliver boxes many of 
which were transformed into teapots on day three...



Not to mention discovering stencils, rice paper transfers,
engobes and dropbach trays... We were so involved
the first day that we didn't even take a single picture!


These are only pictures of work made in the hand building
room; there was wheel work and things also happening
in the new Annex...


We did decide that three days is just not long enough...

Oh what fun!
