Now that we've put together our goal, but let's go back and visit our larger vase that we're working on here have a bottle shape started here, come back in and clean up the bottom just a little bit, remove some of this excess clay, because the shape that I'm going for I'm not going to necessarily be able to trim or at least not trim very easily. So I'm just going to remove most of the clay right now and give it that finished look the pieces set up about that leather hard state and maybe just a little bit below that a little harsh, they just a little bit softer. As you can see, I'm still able to remove that clay pretty easily in these nice clean ribbons. But it is set up enough that I can remove it fairly aggressively and not worry about it collapsing on me.

We mentioned before so much of this process, it's just about the timing, knowing when to work with clay and that will definitely come with time getting to know your material moving that clay was starting to lighten this form up already with these larger forums if you if you need to leave a little extra clay down here. Again, don't don't worry too much about it. Yes, you want to limit your waist and throw as much as the closer you can. But if you need to come back in here and trim some of this way and clean up that surface. There's nothing wrong with that. Now come back and finish this up after we get our top on.

It's pretty close now. shape and kind of just a little bit and try to do as much of this as you can. Now, before we get that extra Section A lot here since we'll be more weight more, a lot more weight, more clay flying around and it'd be more of a risk of bumping into it or something going wrong there. Take a little bit of clay and throw it down the rounded foot there a nice undercut our shadow that is always so important. Okay, I'm just gonna come back in and make sure our top is level here. Now as we start to connect these sectionals always leaving in a hole in here and that's for a couple reasons.

One it's going to keep this into that functional range of a large base. So if you did want to put some reads or some, something taller in here, you definitely could do that. But more importantly, logistically, it's very dangerous to go flat on flat. So I have a hole in my stem here to when I pick that up and show you because if you go flat on flat, it is very easy to catch clay in bitter clay, it's very easy to catch an air bubble between those two sections, which can cause them to pop apart during the firing. safer to just go a ring on ring, so I just have a solid around connection like so and been elated all the way through the command in score our top Picked up over a piece here. All right, looks like it's gonna line up pretty well.

I score this out just a little bit more. Notice the inside of this is hollow as well with that internal foot that we made. So then I'm actually attached these two I can take this thin lip of clay right here and bend that down and fold it into this bottom section and create a nice solid connection. So it should be very strong on the base here, slip. Now we're simply going to center this up on our top. I'm extending my finger lining this up, just like we would if we were sitting it, it's important to get it as close as possible.

If there's a little bit off, it's a little bit's not gonna hurt you because once the wheels stop, it's not gonna be noticeable, but definitely want it as close as possible. So it's looking pretty good there. Now I have this slip of clay here, I'm going to throw that down to make a nice solid connection on the outside. And then I'll move to the inside and throw that internal foot or lip down. Keep in mind, these are just two very simple sections. We threw our bottles already we've covered that and this is just a short little cylinder I could have thrown this, you know, twice as tall if we really wanted that elongated neck or one of these exaggerated forms.

So these are just the basic steps. Speaking really take them a lot farther beyond this and have a lot of fun with these techniques. Okay, oops, that inside can't quite reach it. So I'm gonna go ahead and use my students out of my way and I have to compress that inside foot down over the opening of the internal bottle. Again, that's really gonna reinforce this connection. That nice solid connection avoid any cracking issues along that time.

Just a little bit more. We're almost there. Oh, yeah, that was good. No, come back in to our detail work on our outside here. They're cleaning up the shape a little bit, little separation line there between the neck and the bottle. All right.

And then just to finish off for shaping the grid with at least one handle plus Too small handles here. Just to really put the finishing touches on it I'm just grabbing some of the scrap clay that was on my wheel head already. This should help to add finishing touches here. One more on the other side of it here. Detail we're gonna handle my knees up with the other side. bottom edges there it will detail work the glaze to break over There we go.

Our large, simple sexual. Oh, it's pretty good. I think it's cheaper.
