Sculpture "Pinch Pot Fish" Grades K - 7

Big Mouth Fish is just one example of what a creative person can do with a simple pinch pot! The monster on the right is a wee bit scary but leave out the teeth and turn that frown upside down and you've got a happy goldfish!

Pinch Pot Fish can be made with any sculpture medium. "Pots" can be made as small as 1" across! Then the tail, fins and eyes are added. Larger fish can be created with more clay. The average size is about 1.5" - 2" diameter "pot".

The first sample is made of air-dry clay and is left plain with no paint. The monster fish is made with potter's clay, fired, glazed and re-fired. Similar results can be acheived with any medium. Air-dry clay finished with paints and gloss would be very cute!

Plastiscene would allow students to reposition the face to show different emotions!
