52. Throwing a Wide Rim, Small Base Ikebana Vase with Hsin-Chuen Lin

To throw something, the rim this big and the bottom this narrow, the tip is you want to have a more clear, thicker clay on the bottom so that when you stretch it out you have enough strength on the bottom to hold the whole weight from the top. So that's the tip for throwing something that is very wide on the rim and very narrow on the bottom. Make sure that the bottom you leave enough, quite a bit of thickness and then you stretch from there that you won't be fail. That's the tip of how you making this kind of shape. This is about 16 inch in width.
