4. INSTRUCTIONS  Think of the shape of the pot you would like to make.  Start with a small ball of prepared and wedged clay.  The ball should fit easily into the palm of one hand.  Pinch pot must be small. Push one or both thumbs into the ball of clay..

5. Continue  Turn the ball into the hands pressing on the inside of the hole with the thumb and on the outside of the ball with the fingers, thus shaping the bowl.  When the clay walls of the bowls feel as if they are even and not too thick or too thin, place a bowl on a piece of paper.  Neaten the top edge of the bowl or pot with the fingers or with the wooden tool

6. Continue.  If the clay cracks while shaping the pot press it well together again.“  Beware of using water to smoothen the surface of clay pots.  It is very easy to spoil the pot with too much water.  Decorate the pot, leave it to dry in a cupboard.
