1ST Pinch Construction

My first pinch construction I made a bowl with a panda attach to it. I constructed this piece of art by using my clay. In order for my pinch pot to look like this I had to go through steps.
Steps:

• First you wedge the clay 
• Second you form it into a ball
• After forming it into a ball you take your thumb and pinch onto the clay. You keep pinching onto the clay until you form a pinch pot the way you want it to be. 
• Once I done forming in into that shape I started to add designs to it. 

I decided to put a panda because I thought it was really cute. The swirls on the outside of the pinch pot portrays the waves. I wanted the panda to be in the water relaxing. :)
