Today, we are making pinch pots out of clay!
Natural clay comes from the earth. It is made up of fine-grained particles of rock that are broken down over many years and then mixed with water. Clay can be different colors ranging from grey to red-orange, to brown.
The color of the clay depends on the rocks and minerals that it is made of.
Flower pots, plates, cups, bowls, sculptures and bricks are all made from clay.
You can make a pinch pot with clay by making a ball, pressing your thumb into the clay and squeezing it between your finger and your thumb.
The only art tool we will need to make our pinch pots is our hands!
