Entries - Hollow Forms/Vases
Hollow forms must have been made from a single piece of wood and hollowed through a hole which is significantly smaller than the diameter of the finished work. Vases must be higher than they are wide and have been hollowed. Hollow forms and vases must be predominantly wood but may be decorated with other materials.
