Pinch Technique- a simple form of hand-made pottery produced from ancient times to the present.The process begins with a ball of clay. Thumbs are pushed into the center, and then rudimentary walls are created by pinching and turning the pot.
Score and Slip- refers to a method of joining two pieces of clay together.
- First, score the clay; this means that you make scratches in the surfaces that will be sticking together.
- Then you slip it; that is you wet the surface with some slip, using it like glue.
- Next, you press the two pieces together.
Glaze- A glassy coating that has been melted onto a ceramic surface. It is used to decorate the piece and to seal the clay surfaces.
