How I Throw an Angular Bud Vase

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.

Damn when you said the rim dips I didnt expect a dip dip like that.. the angle just kept getting steeper. ALWAYS IMPRESSIVE WORK. (Also give the doggie some pets on my behalf)

It looks like a nightmare to clean out but also very pretty!

I like it, you can also just pour water in the top without being too careful and not make a mess for flowers👌🏼

Beautiful to watch you at work, like any master of their craft…you are the reason I finally, after a lifetime of mañana, began ceramics. Thank you

This is gorgeous, and I'm sure it took much practice to master making this shape.

[iralynjequinto]

[AkaedatheLogtoad]

And somehow like magic you will make it better? Truely master of your craft

[Greenteabook]

Beautiful, but impossible to clean completely.

Do you ever make any clay pots that stay the sane color? I love that terracotta color!!

[sambowen]

How do you empty the pot of glaze, i figure itd get stuck in the lip when trying to dump it out?

[fionamacdonald-jb]

I wish you would show the end product ❤

I hope that when a meteor hit something you made is perfectly preserved and archeologists finds it 500, 000 years from now and says it was impossible to make.

I wonder how often this guy feels like breaking every piece of pottery in his studio
