Sue uses her regular stone ware and then also makes a ten pound lump of white and cream stoneware, she had two pieces of wood that will act as a measuring device as she runs a cutting wire along it's length, slicing off two eight inch thick pieces of clay that will form the ikibana. |
 |
 |
| The stoneware slice is laid in a bowl for forming, this is the base of the ikibana and an edge is fashioned to make the joint to the top piece. | |
|
|
|
|
The top slice has a hole cut out and now the two pieces are scored and wetted to be joined as one. |
|
|
|
|
|
Gently Sue combines the pieces making sure the joints are secure and won't leak water. |
