Demonstration of making cute pinch pot flower bowls in clay

A great beginner's make, these simple pinch pot bowls in the shape of flowers look fantastic once finished and make cute trinkets bowls or even cereal bowls if you keep the petals smaller.

This video is a speedy demonstration of how I made the two bowls and doesn't contain any instructions but, if you have any questions please ask in the comments and I'll answer as soon as I can.

I made these for a 9th birthday party activity and used decorating slips to add colour to the petals and it worked really well, the kids' bowls look fantastic.

If you'd like to see the finished bowls you can find a photo on my Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/p/CgkSY06Ij...
