You will need

- tool with pointy end(optional)
-clay (I used Funke brand)
-your hand!(if you don't want your hands to get nasty I suggest using gloves of some sort)

Portioning the Clay

Tear off a chunk of clay from the block(as big as you want your pot)

Roll out the clay into a ball. Press a deep hole into the clay with your thumb, and pinch the clay on the sides if the hole up, to make your pot taller and wider. Once you are satisfied with it, flip over the pot and gently press so that the pot is not lopsided.

This Is It!

Well, this is your pot! You can see some extra steps below, or you wish to be finished, just set it on a high shelf for a week to dry. Once dry, you can take it to a kiln and fire it, glaze it, and fire it again, or just paint the dried pot. See extra steps below!
