In this how-to video, you will learn how to create a simple terracotta clay wall hanging vase with a pottery wheel. Begin by throwing a piece of clay on the pottery wheel. Now, make a circular shape with the clay. Next, widen the shape and then make a bowl shape inside. Now, bring the shape up so that it is elongated. Keep doing this until you get to the desired shape. Now, narrow the base of the clay. Make sure that the width tapers smoothly. Now, refine the top and inside of the clay. Take out any excess clay. You can also take this time to paint the vase. Once this is done, you can flatten the back and punch a hole on the side. This video shows just how easy it is to make a simple hanging vase.
