• De-moulding vases. This needs to be done efficiently in a set process with care for how each piece is handled.
• De-seaming and polishing vases. This is detailed work. Care needs to be taken with how the vases are handled and the end result needs to be neat, consistent and achieved in a set time.

• You are open to feedback and subtle adjustments on technique.
