Throwing “Inverted Vase” Closed Form on the Potter’s Wheel @ Alchemyceramic

Today’s project is a "Inverted Vase."
I love experimenting with various vase shapes, and the idea for this one actually came about by accident.
After I cut the top of the closed form pot I threw the cut piece to the reclaim clay bucket.
This piece of clay landed on top of the failed open sugar pot
which was also in the reclaim bucket.
It was perfectly fitted but in reverse.
The result was a completely new and exciting form
that sparked my creativity. And thus, the inverted vase was

Thank you for sharing this technique. What a beautiful vase! I'm a beginner, having my 2nd class tonight, and I struggled. You have inspired me to keep going, as it's such a beautiful art form in both the process and the product. I have subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos.

The class was wonderful, and I enjoyed myself immensely. I have a lot to learn, but the joy of losing myself to the clay is quite addictive. ❤ You are a true artist, and I'm grateful you have decided to share your gift with us. ❤ Thank you!

Thank you for your question 😊 Those are plastic pipe. Cut in 4 cm ring then cut a slit so I can open the ring and clamp the foam. Amazingly work well!.
