Throwing this vase with white clay! 

First thing we do is take 1000 grams of clay and place it on the wheel head. Begin the essential coning and centring process, ensuring a stable foundation for your creation, help the process by anchoring one of your arms on the side of the wheel head or into your body. Form the walls and create a base thickness of one and a half centimetres, using a throwing sponge to pull them up gracefully.

Again, Anchor your left hand on the wheel head’s side, providing a solid support for the clay. Bring your walls up to the desired height. Then, shape the pot from the inside out, sculpting a vessel with finesse.

Moving forward, focus on crafting a defined lip on the vase’s top and refining the shape using various ribs. Introduce a turning tool to trim the base for a clean, polished appearance. Employ a gouging tool to create lines on the wall, helping give highlights under the glaze.

Hope you enjoyed this post and as always Happy Potting!!! 🥳🥳
