Hollow forms are a challenge, and I like making them. They are usually hollowed through a small hole in the top. The aim is to get the walls thin but, obviously, not to break through. Success can be judged from the weight of the piece. Vases and goblets are easier to hollow because of the wide opening but, because the interior is visible, they present their own problems when finishing and polishing.
