3: Wrap a clay strip around the circular base piece, overlapping slightly, and press to secure the bond.
4: Gently roll the joined area to meld the clay pieces together seamlessly.
5 : Add more strips, alternating between odd and even, to distribute joins evenly around the vase.
6: Use a damp sponge to refine the surface of the vase, enhancing its smoothness.
7: Carefully remove the vase from the mould once the clay is dry, preserving its shape.
8: Join any uneven edges for a uniform appearance, securing them firmly.
9: Detail the inside of the vase using rubber or plastic clay tools, adding intricate touches.
