Step 1 – Form the base ball

Step 1 – Form the Base Ball

Wedge (knead) a piece of clay to remove air bubbles, then roll it into a smooth ball about the size of an orange. This will become the base of your pinch mug.


Step 2 – Form a tunnel

Step 2 – Form a Tunnel

Hold the clay ball in one hand and use your thumb to press a hole into the centre.


Step 3 – Pinch the walls

Step 3 – Pinch the Walls

Gently pinch and rotate the clay with your fingers, thinning out the walls evenly to create a cup shape.


Step 4 – Add a handle

Step 4 – Add a Handle

Roll a small coil of clay and curve it into a “C” shape. Score (scratch) and slip (add clay + water mixture) to attach it securely to your mug. Blend the joins so the handle is strong and comfortable.


Step 4 – Smooth and finish

Step 4 – Smooth and Finish

Use your fingers, a sponge or rib tool to smooth the surface. Decorate by carving, stamping, or adding floral and foliage prints for a unique touch. Once dry, your mug will be bisque fired, glazed, and returned as a functional piece
