For today’s post, we’re gonna be running through how I make this little retro inspired vase!
Some important notes is to make sure you have enough clay to make such a vase. I start off with roughly round 2 kg of clay, This gives you plenty of clay to work with and allow you to create a fairly thick wall for shaping.
When it comes to the trimming later on, make sure you secure properly with a couple of lumps of clay on the bat and also make sure to trim a fair amount of clay from the base to make sure it’s nice and light when holding it
I good tips is to tap the bottom of the bars when you’re trimming and listen for a noticeable change in the tone that you get from the vase, when you initially start it will have a very dull thud to the piece, you’ll know you’re getting to the right thickness when you start to hear a more vibrant echo noise from the base when tapping it
It’s hard to explain it on text, but possibly I’ll create a video on it one day in the future
