Finishing Two Part Vases - throwing and attaching the tops

Today we throw and attach the tops of the two part vases we started last video. Last video we threw the 3lb bottoms. The tops are made out of about 1.25lbs of clay. I hope you enjoy, learn, and that you are inspired by this video!

Thanks for making these very informative videos on two part vase constructions. I'm really interested, because it is very like the construction of the clay versions of middle eastern goblet-shaped drum shells, where the flaring part is the base of the shell (Often, the top is thrown right-side-up and then flipped over after it dries to a similar state like your vase bottoms; and then they cut the bottom out and join on the base in a similar manner).

The first pot I would have cut off 1/3rd of that top! just a matter of preference Matt :) Great video and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful

Awesome video, thank you. Im stunned about how high you can throw with that amount of clay. It must be very thin. You are a great inspiration.

Can't wait to see the process ! 👍🌞 Beautiful pieces. Love those classic shapes.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thank you so much. Yes I’m excited to fire the wood kiln again!

That second one you did was `my idea` of the perfect pot Matt. I love skinny necks.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thank you Cliff. I made another the other day with an even better shape, if you can believe that. Haha

[@clifforddalton3067]

love this video Matt, great work making them look as made in one :)

Hi Matt, I really like the two part vases on the large pieces. I have always attempted larger pieces with one amount of clay and it hard to NOT make mistakes when doing that. I'm changing my ways when doing larger tall pieces for now on. eddie.

Yay! I hope this technique gives you as much success as it has for me.

Waiting for you to put a handle on that pitcher !!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I did a handle on a different pitcher but very similar at the beginning of my most recent live stream.
