Pinch Pot Birds

By; Ricky Castillo, Jasmin Diaz, and Mya Caetano.

Grab clay the size of a tennis ball and roll it into a ball until smooth.

Push your thumb into the center of the ball of clay (firmly). Enough

One you've made your beginning hole, keep stretching it open until the walls around and beneath are equally thick.

It should look somewhat like this.

Cut the rim of the pot to make it smooth and straight.

Cut as much as you need to make it straight.

The rim should look something like this after.

Scorn and split the edge of the pot.

Place the two edges together.

Place the vinegar on both sides and hold them together.

Once the edges are firmly attached to each other, then scorn and split the top of the seal again.

Make it long enough to cover the split on top.

Place the slim piece of clay where the rims were once to solidify the bond together.

With your fingers smooth the top of the body.

Make it as smooth as possible.

Use force to shape the body to make it look like a bird. Raise the back of the bird to make a tail.

Final look .

Raise the front of the body to make it look like a head. Pinch the front of the face to make a beak.

Make two small holes in the front of the birds neck. It is used for you to pour out what ever you put in it. Salt, pepper, or etc.

You can use a tool or not to make a hole on the bottom. It is used to fill the bird with anything you want.

The hole should look like this.
