Lidded Pinch Pot
Requirements:
Create a lidded pinch pot by slipping and scoring 2 pinch pots together.
Applique, incise, carve, pierce, or impress at least 5 things onto your lidded pot (a min of 2 of these 5 must be applique).
After attaching the 2 pots, cut open a lid that will stay in place after it is fired (a straight cut will have an additional step which I will demo in class).
Gaze or paint your fired lidded pinch pot.
Grading: 25 points
5 points: pot is made using 2 pinch pots which were attached prior to cutting lid. The pinch technique was used and it is clear the student attempted to get uniform thickness throughout
5 points: A minimum of 5 decorative items are included (2 of the 5 are applique). It is clear the student put forth effort into the decorative elements. The design is appropriate and refined.
5 points: The lid stays in place with either a coil or altered cut so that when the pot is lifted the lid does not fall off of the piece. The lid comes on and off of piece and is not glazed/stuck on.
3 points: first and last name visible on bottom of pot
2 points: after completion, self-reflection questions are thoughtfully answered
5 points: pot is glazed on time and all glaze is wiped off the bottom and edge. No runners were used and no more than 2 glazes were used. If a second glaze
is used, it must only be on the top half of the pot. If painted, the student must put forth obvious effort to paint piece using different colors and have clean lines. Pieces must be painted inside and out.
