DOUBLE PINCH POT

To create a double-pinch pot, you simply create two pinch pots and join the two pots together at the opening with slip. Slip is used as paste that'll hold the two pinch pots together. On one side of the pot, where a foot could be created, cut an opening on the pot. On the other end, you could choose to create a foot or leave the foot flat for it to sit on a flat surface. This kind of pot would generally be used as a vase.

Now, it's time to decorate the double-pinch pot. For my design, I rolled coils into swirls and attached it to the pot using slip once again.



After it has been fired, I glazed the swirls first with a maroon glaze, then the rest of the double-pinch pot with a sandy-brown glaze. No wax resist was needed this time.
In to the kiln it goes for firing one last time, and then my double-pinch pot will be finished.
