Aboriginal Pinch Pots – Grade Six

Aboriginals produced pottery vessels to hold water, corn and other materials. Through many generations they developed shapes and patterns to suit their needs and to identify their communities. Students will examine native pottery artifacts, some as much as 600 years old, and examine shapes, clay thickness and decorative patterns. Using clay and tools provided, students will then produce their own replica pot to take home.
