making a vase

Here's a slideshow of me making a vase.
I use Earthstone Original clay and do all my rolling out by hand. When the clay has gone leather hard, I use newspaper templates to cut out the shape of the vase . I scratch and score the edges of the clay, curve the pieces around a rolling pin to shape them, and then stick them together with a mixture of water and clay.
I tidy up the top and edges, and put a base on.
