Clay Vessel
Making a vessel involves a very simple technique. First the sculptor should begin with a ball and clay. Then begin to press your thumbs in the middle of the ball to make a bowl shape. Turn the piece of clay as you're pinching the middle, so you can get evenly thick walls. when you are finished, begin to create your design on the outside or make more creative shapes with the vessel.http://www.lakesidepottery.com/HTML%20Text/Methods%20of%20Handbuilding.htm
