Sand-filled scrap polymer
UK’s Claire Wallis-Dovey joined the pinch pot challenge over at the Facebook Polymer Clay Success group with this marbled entry. She used scrap Kato clay to create her bowl shape.
She gently folded the bowl’s excess clay over to form the top surface and left the pot opening raw to add to its rugged look.
Then Claire poured sand into the hole and added a trickle of water to firm the sand. The wet sand allowed Claire to roll the top flat. The sand also kept the flat area from collapsing during curing. She just poured the sand out after it cooled.
Tuck Claire’s idea away for your next bowl.
