The current clay techniques we have used so far is pinch pots, wrapping cups in clay, and slabs. Pinch pots was where we took a ball of clay cut it in half then hollowed of the smooth side then putting the 2 hollowed pieces back together with slip to make a hollowed object. Wrapping cups in clay was where we used a cup on a flat piece of clay then cut off the bottom to be put together. Lastly slabs where 5 slabs were cut then the sides that were going to be connecting were going to be cut at 45 degrees so that the slabs would stick together.
