pinch pot

[NFDP]

Hi! How do you say "pinch pot" in Italian? It will be the first assignment in a 5-week pottery class for highschool students. Grazie!

Ciao NFDP,

Can you give us some more information about the term in English?
(And your attempt of translation as well )
Thank you.

Yes! A pinch pot is generally the first assignment given in any pottery class. It is a small cup or bowl slightly bigger than your hand that is made by molding the clay using only your palm and fingers. Here:http://www.jhpottery.com/tutorial/pinch.htm My attempt at a translation:
una tazzina di argilla fatta con le mani.

Hi there,
I think the right term could be "modellazione a mano [libera]" but we better wait for other opinions.

I think in Italian we could define it "ciotola".
