Making Pinch Pot is the easies method people have of interacting with clay. We push, and the clay responds. We push, and again the clay responds. We can learn so much just through the experience of directly modifying the clays form. It is a good way to introduce someone to clay. Pinching clay can help us with a touch sensitivity. Through this process, we more easily learn to rely on our fingers to tell us information about the clay. We can develop a skill of form and of the thickness of walls and floors of the clay.
