So the last thing I'm going to show you how to do is a little pinch pot cup with a handle.
The beginning is going to be almost the same as the other two pieces, the only difference
being that as I start this pulling, I'm trying to keep a flat bottom. I'm going to hit it
on the canvas to make sure that I have a flat bottom, and then I'm going to be pushing and
pinching with the bottom down so that I can get a nice, wide, flat area for this cup to
sit on. And I'm just doing what I did before, where I'm pinching and pulling up. You can
see it starting to come out a little bit, so I'm just going to cup it and push it in,
'cause I do want this to be a cylinder, or close to it. And just keep spinning and pinching until
you get the thickness and the shape that you're looking for. And if it starts to get a little bit too wide,
you can just push it in again with your hands. And if you use a slightly bigger ball of clay, you can
get a larger cup, but I'm just trying to demonstrate the basics of this, so I'm going to have a
very small cup here. And now I'll show you how to make a handle and attach it.
