"Told you so... but it is fairly easy to shape... at least when you are making something this basic. I imagine later stuff is very tedious."

"Right... But what would you even make with clay that could be so tedious?" Alex murmurs, shaking his head.

"Um... That's more of a carving, rather than pottery thing, isn't it?" Alex asks, tilting his head.

"Maybe? you could just make really fancy pots then... every craft has more to it than the surface."

"Right... Let's make a simple case for now." He says, chuckling and shaping the top so it has a wavy neck, while leaving the rest to Olivia.

She shapes the body wider with a thinner neck for visual appeal. "So we just have to hollow it out yea?"

"Yep... Um... How do we do that...?" Alex mutters.

"To answer your question, Reptile, you have to gently press your fingers down around the top of neck to make it shallow, then use the tools provided to hollow it out." The hologram says, and a pair of steel rods with a single sphere at the end pop up, as well as a similar one with a more spade-shaped head.

He rolls his eyes, before picking up the tools and carefully hollowing our the inside of the vase. "Liv, hold the shape, please..." He mutters, frowning with concentration.

It doesn't take long, before the vase is finally done.

"Very good! Now, stop the spinning disc, and carefully remove the vase. If you have any leftover clay, save it. Once the vase hardens, use the clay to form a little seal over the hole!" The hologram says happily.

She nods her head and carefully removes the vase from the wheel once it stops. "We have any clay left big guy?"

"This..." He murmurs, holding up a small ball. "Lets wait for it to dry first..." He murmurs.

[Derp. It's supposed to be wait for it to dry, and then remove it. Gah.]

[Derp....]

"Alright... so this dries and then we have to put it in the furnace right?"

"That is indeed correct, race identification error! Into the furnace it goes, but make sure you plug it up first."

Olivia hears only a word or two after the hologram's statement, because Alex is loudly laughing his head off at the fact that the hologram wasn't able to identify her race.

"Um.... Liv... Wrong hole..." Alex mutters, before carefully slicing away the plug she made, and using it to cover the bottom hole. He gives her a slightly annoyed look before carefully putting the vase into.the furnace to harden. While they wait, he moves over to pull Olivia into his lap and cuddle with her.

"Yes. Over there, race identification error. There is a sink." The hologram says, pointing to a washbasin.

Alex is still chuckling when she gets back, before giving her a little poke. "I think our vase is done. Be a dear and go check, will you? Be careful." He says, smiling.

The vase inside has turned hard. Now would be the time to pull it out! Good thing there were tools nearby.

She looks near by for something that will help her take it out without burning her hands off.

The vase has hardened nicely, leaving a vase with a wavy neck, and a smoothly curved body.
"Wonderful! Not a single crack! All that's left now is to paint it with the colours of your choice!" The hologram says, holding up a paint palette, which appears in real life behind Alex.

"Ah, sweet. Hey Alex, what color do you wanna paint this? I was thinking blue personally."

"Anything you want. Blue mixed with purple, maybe? Like, blue base, some.sort of abstract purple design on top?" He asks.
