If you master the pinch pot you can create a vase made out of two pinch pots, this is a great way to upgrade your pinch technique.

STEPS

  1. Create two pinch pots (click here to see how), make it smaller if you want the upper part of the vase to be narrower. 

  2. Fold the top edges of your pinch pots outwards to create two flat surfaces. 

  3. Place the smaller pinch pot on top of the large pot and pinch the edges together to combine the clay. 

  4. Use your fingers to smooth the clay in one direction into the body of the vase. Use the carving tools to blend and smooth out your vase until there is no visible joint mark. 

  5. Use the needle tool to create the hole at the top. Push it gently through the top, and twist it as you go down. 

  6. Make small pinches around the mouth of your vase and give your preferred shape. 

Do not put water inside your vase, you can use it with dry flowers or you can simply insert a glass or jar and use them as traditional vases for real flowers.
