More on how I make mini vases
•
I make these tiny vases on the pottery wheel. This was 2.5oz of clay, it’s a small glimpse of what happenes behind the scenes. Tiny takes a lot of precision, and a gentle touch. No room for mistakes. I don’t use any special tools. I use the same tools as when I work 14oz or 8lbs.

How do I make my mini vases?
People often ask me how I make these tiny vases on the pottery wheel, so I decided to make a video to show you! Working on such a small scale takes patience, precision, and a gentle touch. Every little movement matters.
Here’s a peek into my process, from a small lump of clay to a tiny vase. Sometimes the smallest pieces require the most attention!

Ceramic Oil Cruets: Where Form Meets Function

Crafting a ceramic oil cruet requires precision, especially when fitting the spout to ensure a secure, leak-resistant seal. A well designed bottle provides controlled pouring, prevents drips, and reduces kitchen messes. .

Why ceramic? Unlike opaque glass or plastic, stoneware blocks light and helps insulate oil from temperature fluctuations, two factors that contribute to oxidation and rancidity. A ceramic oil cruet helps preserve your favorite oil’s freshness, flavor, and aroma. Abeautiful balance of craftsmanship and everyday functionality.
