The overall shape of my pinch pot stayed the same during the development of my project. The clay was usually cooperative when being shaped and molded, but I found difficulty in smoothing my pinch pot out. The paddling step was the hardest process for me while creating my project. There always seemed to be a spot that needed to be re-done. It took patience and careful attention to detail to ensure that I wasn't smoothing out one spot any more than another.
