I love making these more bellied bud vases, thrown round and then sectioned off to be more angular, the top is then dropped in so that it slopes downward. I’ll dry the clay out with a heat gun if I feel like things are going astray and the clay is perhaps too soft, this way it doesn’t supply flop inward, which can happen.

Whilst I like throwing this form, glazing it is another story altogether, as the top slopes in, getting all the glaze out from the inside can be a nightmare and inevitably some gets trapped inside that ultimately turns to glass, adding additional weight to these pots.

If you’d like to see me struggle doing that, well, there’s a much longer narrated YouTube video on my channel that shows the entire process, from the throwing, the trimming and the troublesome glazing.
