- Heyo! Welcome to my tutorial on pinch pots! In this clay tutorial I will walk you through each step of the creative process to make an animal pinch pot. We will learn about stages of clay and how to sculpt through pinching techniques. I’ll also show you how to safely add clay details to your pot to create animal features by slipping & scoring. I hope you learn lots and enjoy!

Dear Teachers,
I have made this video for all of us and I am happy to share my presentation and video with you all! This video is rather long for one sitting. I usually invite my students to bring a snack for brainstorming days and prepare them to watch a long tutorial. I give them the presentation, we watch the tutorial and the rest of the class is used for brainstorming, references and thumbnails (we have 80 min. classes). Once we start building, a few classes later, I pull up the video and just rewatch one part at a time. We all kinda work together, stopping and starting the video as needed. The slower kids will stick with the video, one step at a time and ask lots of questions. The kids who get it and want to breeze along have already watched the whole process and can move at their own pace.
The video is meant to show the whole building process from start to finish, in a relatively quick video. If you are anything like me, your demos are usually rushed and become an example of what not to do, instead of having the time to show them how to make quality work. I truly hope this video will help you and your students! Thanks for watching.

"This pinch pot is looking pretty fly" Made me grin and close my eyes slowly while nodding. Love it
Thank you for this video. I’ve learn more about clay than I have in my classes in the video
Just want to say that as an adult in my 40’s this was very helpful. I’m just starting my pottery hobby and I know nothing about it. Thank you for all the details.
Yay! That makes me so happy! Happy I can be of help and happy that you’re embarking on your clay journey! It’s so much fun!!
I took a zoom class from a local ceramic artist. It was good exposure but I didn’t learn techniques. So I watch you tube videos, the best were always ceramics High School teachers. I wanted to learn more so I am taking sculpture class from an artist at a local Pottery Cooperative. BUT I learned more from watching this one video, than ever before ! Thank you you are a great teacher and I look toward you next video!
Oh my goodness! Thank you for leaving this comment! I was so stressed about how long the video was and I was doubtful anyone would watch a 30 min. pinch pot video. But this is my kids first project with clay so there was sooooo much to explain! I just didn't know what to cut and I almost edited out most of the advice. I am so glad I left it, even if just for you! Thanks for the encouragement!
Hi! Just wanted to say, I watch a lot of pottery how to videos online and yours are not only really informative but I also love the things you make. The designs are always quirky and original!
Meera, thank you sooo much! Seriously, it can be terrifying to publicly post my art as it's a direct line to my soul (lol, but it's true). I'm so glad you like it!
@@MissLinneaLark I totally get it. But I really hope your designs are out in the world in shows and retail spaces. Because they're artist/designer quality.
Absolutely loved this video. So much helpful information for a beginner like myself. You’re an awesome teacher and your students are fortunate to have you to teach them. Thank you! 😊
Ah! Thank you, Christian, so much for the encouragement and kind words!
Excellent teacher. I really enjoyed your video, instructions and tips.
My sculpting teacher used your fly pinch pot as an example for our project and analyzed it 😊😊😊😊
I hope they were kind, lol.
I wish I could come to your art classes... thank you for the excellent videos!
Glad you like them!
Surgery? Are you my secret twin? I call that " wir operieren" in my pottery-classes.
Lol, shhhh… don’t tell, but I actually use scalpels for myself! They have different tips, but be careful, they are SHARP!
Hello from Turkey👋🏻. Thank you very much for your valuable explanation in this video. You are great👍🏻🌼
Oh, I have always wanted to visit your beautiful country! Thanks for watching and you are so welcome! 🤩
All so cute!
Thank you for this video! I was tempted to try out some pinch pots and this video came just in time! 💕 you’re always making amazing content. I am glad I can be your UA-cam student.
Thanks Enzo! I feel like you are one of my baby birds, you always leave me such kind comments
@@MissLinneaLark that warms my heart to read a comment like that! I think it would be amazing to do work together one day.
fantastic video!!! Thanks so much!!

naya you should make online art videos
bc ur really good at that
Not as good as you!
This is, like, the cutest thing ever, and I love him (and his bird-oriented wings!) Thank you for the lesson! Not gonna lie, I'm now incredibly intimidated by this medium, but I'll get there eventually. I live in MS, and our humidity is nine times out of ten, off the charts. Considering this, do you think the plastic is totally necessary when marching towards bone-dry? (It's one of the reasons I want to move to a desert state, moisture routinely gives me headaches when art is concerned.)
Thanks for the kind words! Anytime you are drying clay that has been slipped and scored you want to do it slowly so the pieces shrink slowly and don’t crack where you slip and scored. Plastic will be essential for this and for when you are saving a piece over time, regardless of the humidity. I rarely finish a work in one sitting. So I’ll spray the piece, spray the inside of the bag and then wrap it tight with plastic, letting in little to no air to preserve the work.
With more humidity your pieces will take longer to dry out and that can be helpful. But with clay, regardless of the humidity I would say clay dries out in anywhere from hours (dry humidity) to days (extreme humidity).
Good luck!! Experiment and see what works for you.
@@MissLinneaLark Thank you kindly! I'll do just that!
Heeey, I found your channel from when I was looking for ink videos and It's sooo good. This one is almost 30 minutes long and I don't pretend to do pinch pots, but it was very fun and informative to watch! Thank you
Vitoria, I am so happy you are enjoying the channel! Us high school art teachers are all over the place, teaching so many different mediums! I'm so glad you don't mind, sometimes I wonder :D Thank you for watching and for the encouragement
An air bubble will never never never never never NEVER cause an explosion in the kiln. Moisture will, always cause an explosion in the kiln. A tea kettle doesn’t whistle because of hot air, it whistles because it needs to release steam caused by boiling water. If you leave a closed tea kettle on the stove with no water, the kettle will burn, but it doesn’t explode. If there is moisture in clay that is being fired and there is no place for escape, it will force itself out of the clay. If air is inside of clay, and it gets lava hot. 🤷🏻♀️Nothing.
Absolutely. However air bubbles can sometimes trap moisture. It will be the water that explodes out… but the air bubble creates an environment where water gets trapped.

Crazy number of ads. 👎
Well I appreciate you taking the time to leave a thumbs down 😂.
