This document provides instructions for a pinch pot series free choice assignment. Students are asked to create a unique series of 3-5 pinch pots exploring refined skills and techniques. Pots must have a foot and explore surface decoration through texture, form, negative space and glaze. Examples given include a set of connected or separate pots, nested pots, a pot with lid, or functional pots. The goals are for students to freely create and communicate their skills and point of view. Students should create sketches showing their idea and how they will address specific requirements. Videos on techniques can be found on the class website.
