Description

Make a sculptural cutout vase at home with this printable slab pottery template and tutorial. A modern hand building project that plays with negative space, made from clay slabs with no wheel needed.

The Illusion Vase has an open cutout through its body that makes it look lighter than it is. It’s a striking modern vase for dried flowers or a single stem, and a fun way to try something sculptural with simple slab techniques.

If you have any questions concerning this slab building project, please send them through. I am here to assist you on your creative journey.
