Vase

This is version 1 of the secret 'Project Vase'! The photo shows it prior to bisque firing, looking a little squatter than I'd hoped. It was constructed in two parts; the base, thrown as a lump and then carved down to the shape you see here and the top which was thrown up-side-down and a conical form, then closed and finally turned to create the opening at the top. The two were then joined with slip and some final smoothing to give the impression of a one-piece vase.

Et violas!

The finished, glazed vase photo will follow shortly.
