My Project

My amazing art students would like to use Model Magic modeling clay for the first time. We would like to make Gilded Pinch Pots, which will allow them to learn the most basic means of hand-forming pottery and take it in a dazzling new direction.

The most basic technique for forming a 3-D piece of pottery is the pinch pot.

It's usually the first method a potter learns. In this lesson, students will use air-dry clay to form a small vessel, and then gild a portion of it with imitation gold leaf. The result is a dramatic and rich-looking container that can be useful in many ways.
