On Thursday, September 26, 2019, Mrs. Castillon's ceramic class at Winn worked on the elaboration of the wistle which consists of two pinch pots that were previously taught and learned how to make. Creating a wistle consists of the pinch pot technique.
Students needed to include a mouthpiece and needed to open them with preciseness, if not it won't be able to emit the sound.
A pinch pot is a simple form of hand-made pottery.
Simple clay vessels such as bowls and cups of various sizes can be formed, shaped by hand using a methodical pinching process in which the clay walls are thinned by pinching them with thumb and forefinger.
This art serves in multiple ways: you can use it as decoration for your home now for the upcoming holiday dates.
Thank you Mrs. Castillon for helping the Winn students create this beautiful art!
Go Mavericks!
