So, we've pulled our basic cylinder that we wanted for this vase. I'm going to just throw
a fairly standard shape of vase, but you can throw many different things. This is just
one example and a basic example. It's a; I'm just going to pull this bottom piece out and
let this top remain somewhat the same. The way I'm going to do this is I'm going to put
this rib down inside the pot. I'm going to hold this one on the outside. I'm going to
push this rib into the other rib and pull the outside out. You can do this with your
hands. You can do this with your hands, but I've found these ribs to be very effective
for this. So, you put your hand down inside, feel the bottom and just give it a push. You'll
feel it open up. Now, you can see we've kind of formed a basic shape of a vase there. We
can just do some little touch ups and pull it out a little bit more, maybe round it.
Get these edges looking nice; around here; this middle section; form it out. You might
want to also, these tools are handy. We can use it to separate the top, so we have a clear
defined edge. The top of the vase, again there are many different ways that you can do this.
This is just a very standard one. Now, what we have now is a pretty much a completed little
vase. We could pull this in more, but, you know, I think it's kind of a nice shape right
now. We are going to talk about how to finish it up and prepare it to be dried in the next
segment.
