Pinching clay... The pinch technique is when you use your fingers and other tools to sculpt clay into... whatever you want to make, insted of using a turn table thingy. The picture on the right is a perfect example of the pinch technique. Most people make pots or bowls with the pinch technique, but others make creatures, pottery, etc.. I will most likely be making a froggy bank which is similar to the piggy bank, it has a large mouth to put coins in and the coins will fall into its belly. If i want to take the coins out, I dump them out from its mouth so it looks like the frog eats the coins and then spits them back out. I hope it all works out....
