I recently wanted to create a double bulbous vase and decided to give it a go
While I’ve don’t bulbous vases before this was the first time I’d done two! Fair to say I thought I’d be a little easier but hey that’s how you learn! Fair to say the next one should go more smoothly
Few things I did learn:
1. Getting the correct thickness in the walls was key! I had issues towards the end of the throw simply because I left too much clay towards the base and didn’t add a little extra to the top in anticipation of the second bulbous I wanted to throw
2. Water, water was a big part of the process in this shape, preferable I’d use a little more then pulling out the bulbs and a little less when I was throwing up the walls.
3. Amount of clay, the amount of clay I was working with inevitably determined the outcome of the vase, for a vase of this size and shape I really should have had about 300gms more of clay to comfortably throw this shape
As always
Hope you enjoyed this post and as always, Happy Potting! 🥳
