How to Make a Pinch Pot Mug

In this video, I show you how I make pinch pot mugs. You can make a pinch pot mug using a number of pinching techniques. Here I make 4 pinch pot mug designs using two techniques. I make a couple of bowl-shaped pinch pot mugs. And two cylinder-shaped mugs, one is a tankard shape and the other is a more classical mug shape.

Lesley, I'm loving your videos, but I have a question, how many grams of clay do you use for each mug?

Do you use always stoneware? Have you been used earthenware? At the moment, i am learning with earthenware,, but, i know that stoneware is better.. thank for sharing your videos!

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Hi Marcela, I do sometimes use earthenware. I love the look of red earthenware clays. What type of earthenware are you using?

[@marcelaolivares3320]

​@@ThePotteryWheel I use earthenware white color from Spain. But, I would like to apply colors like glazes or underglazes. (Marco or Duncan). What do you opinion for example if I use like base white color (engobe) and then to use pigments of color? because in general, this white color is not pure white color. Thank you!!!

Hi i just wanted to ask if you could perhaps make a video on adding relief to a pot and how long, on average, would you say a classic normal sized pot takes ?

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Hi Parneet, do you mean, how can you carve into the pot/mug and create a texture? This mug probably took about 2 hours to make. Handbuilding is slower than using a wheel, but it's lovely to do.

[@parneetkaurm2188]

@@ThePotteryWheel Hey , i mean like adding clay ontop of a pot for example like adding balls ,etc ??

[@luisluis6804]

Hi Leslie, i was wondering if I can use air dry clay on a pottery wheel

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Hi Luis, yes you can. I don't think you can use all air dry clay on a wheel, but some is suitable.

[@margotpenney8608]

Must get myself a shore form! Spelling??

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Surform! :)

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Hi Allison, you can buy one from a local hardware store, it's called a surform.
