This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Traditional Skills.
Sticking your face in the punch bowl is one way to drink, but using a cup is a bit more popular. Let's start learning how clay works by making a pinch pot!
Here's one way to make one:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a clay vessel to hold liquid
- Holds at least 8 ounces of liquid
- Strong enough to support a bowling ball
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The clay you're starting with
- The pot midway through construction
- The finished pinch pot with a cup measure next to it for scale
- The finished pinch pot holding up a bowling ball
