Instructions
Owl Vase
- Cast the Owl using CD-1319 Owl.
- Roll out clay ¼” thick. Stamp the clay with the ST-345 Large Deco Circles 3 times.
- Thin the top edge of the clay and tear the edge of the clay to create a rough edge. Follow the hand building instruction to create a vase.
- Attach the owl to the vase: cut one side of the owl to create a flat surface. Slip attach to the tube/vase. Use a coil of clay to fill in gaps and seal the owl to the vase, smoothing the seam lines with your finger.
- Clean up any rough edges using a wet finger.
- Bisque fire to shelf cone 04/05.
