Little walkthrough on throwing this beautiful ripple/wave vase

We start by coning the clay, a technique that helps align its particles and ensures even distribution of moisture. Once centred, we proceed to form the walls and base using our thumbs.

After establishing the base, it’s time to shape the walls to the desired height. Using a pulling technique, bring the walls up to achieve the desired form for your vase. In this instance, we’re opting for a simple yet elegant design. 😊

What distinguishes this vase is the ripple effect on the outside wall. To achieve this distinctive look, employ a wooden tool. Gently create ripples along the exterior, adding texture and visual interest to your vase.

Given the delicacy of the exterior, allow the vase to rest for approximately 48 hours before moving on to the next steps. Securing the partially dried vase onto the wheel head with a couple of lumps of clay, the next step involves trimming the base. A carving tool comes into play, allowing the creation of a distinctive foot ring on the base, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

By all means comment below have any other further questions
