Learn how to make a pinch pot monster, step-by-step out of clay. Starting with a clay ball, I will show you how to make a pinch pot. Then we will sculpt and attach different body parts using the score and slip technique, which I will teach you. Steps for score and slip: 1) Score 2) Slip 3) Press 4) Compress.
This tutorial is appropriate for all ages and skill levels. It's a total crowd pleaser.
I teach art and make art videos because I believe that there is a fountain of joy, self-acceptance and childlike innocence inside every person, regardless of their age or skill level. When we engage in playful art-making activities, we can connect with this inner fountain of joy and innocence. The results are very healing and therapeutic. Art is therapy!
