Entries - Hollow Forms/Vases
Each hollow form or vase must have been made from a single piece of wood. Hollow forms must be 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 through the open end. Hollow forms and vases must be predominantly wood but may be decorated with other materials.
