Hey there! Welcome back to [Pottery Creations](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTUbtzIlzEdS19HLsFr6z7w/). I’m Steve, and today we have a special treat for you – the making of cabin khaki, which is a wall hanging vase. In fact, we’ll be making two of them.

Since the weather is scorching hot today, I’ll be able to turn and fire them tomorrow, and within a few days, we should have the final result. So, let’s dive right into it!

For this design, I’ve chosen a unique teardrop shape, with three small teardrops descending along the sides. Originally, I planned to use glass for this, using a cuttlefish technique I discovered at the beach. However, working with glass proved to be quite challenging for me, as I’m not an expert in that craft. So, I decided to use pieces of driftwood instead, which I believe will add a charming touch to the vases. Mixing media in this way shouldn’t pose any issues.

As for the hanging mechanism, I purchased a small bracket from a reputable Japanese metalworking foundry. These products are top-notch in Japan, and this bracket is no exception. It’s a simple and straightforward design – it clips in through a hole in the back of the vase, allowing for easy hanging on a wall. Look at that, it hangs perfectly!

While shaping the vase, I need to leave a generous amount of clay at the bottom, as I’ll be rounding it later on. So, right now, I’m compressing the top to remove excess water and pulling it a bit higher for the desired look.

Voila! The first vase is complete. Take a close look, and let me know what you think.
