Pinch, slab and coil are the beginning techniques for working with clay.
The first most basic method of making something out of clay is simply to 'pinch it' into the desired form. For example if you wanted to make a bowl you would start with a ball of clay and using many slight presses of the thumb into one side create an indentation. By rotating the ball while pressing one can make an evenly thick, finely crafted bowl.
The next method is to use 'snakes' of clay (rolled out from balls - remember kindergarden?) to coil around with each new section being mashed/ joned to the one before. With this method one can create a bowls, cups, jugs and even vessels large enough to get into. The sides can be left with the separate coils still visible or with them not only joined but smoothed out to form an even surface.
Slab is the last of these basic methods. The clay is rolled out (usually between two equally thick boards) to forma slab which is then cut and pieced together wjith other slabs to create a form. A box can be made this way as well as plates, platters or bowls if the slab is draped into or over a form to dry.

Both types of clay are the same. You can use both types of clay to create things. I looked into this and found out that both dry up after a while if you want it to. If you want to paint the clay after it is dry is sort of a mystery to me. I absolutely know that after the crayola air dry clay drys you can definitely paint it. With other types of modeling clay, I am not so sure. I hope this helps.
