Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to throwing a vase on the wheel, from centring the clay to adding intricate surface textures that make your glaze pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Start by centring 2.6kgs of clay on the wheel\u2014this is the foundation for your vase. Take your time to ensure the clay is perfectly centred before moving on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Begin pulling up the walls, maintaining even pressure to create a uniform height. Use a rubber rib to smooth and straighten the outside, giving your vase a clean, sleek form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. For the final finishing, switch to a steel rib to refine the shape and achieve that professional finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Add character to your vase by using a ball cake decoration tool to create a divot pattern on the outside of the wall. This uniform pattern will interact beautifully with the glaze, creating dynamic highs and lows that highlight the texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Allow your vase to dry slowly over 24-48 hours under a plastic bag. This gradual drying process helps prevent cracks and ensures even drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Once the vase is leather-hard, it\u2019s time to trim the base. Carefully trim away excess clay to create a smooth foot ring, giving your vase a stable and refined finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Add a root ring with a trimming tool to complete the base, giving your piece a unique and professional touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\udf1f Explore our creative journey and discover more pottery secrets in our reels.
