in progress(left) finished (right)
process: first I wedged the clay then rolled it through the slab roller where it became to its preferred thickness. then i carved the shape of the rectangle(for the cup).after wetting the clay i would then carve my design into the slab. when completed i molded it into a cylinder and pinched the bottom to make the three legs. after i smoothed out the sides and perfected my design and scored on my handle. when i felt satisfied with what i had i then placed the mug into the kiln where i was fired. lastly after it being fired it was lazed and painted making my finishing product. I chose a braid as the style for my handle. i made this by cutting out three strips and folding piece after piece over each other in a braiding the i scored on the handle and... i was done. I found the fact that i came up with a good design and went with it sucessful. although i might come up with more than one design choice in the future if i were to do this again. A clay slab can be described as a pancake shape of clay. you wold make this by wedging the clay and rolling it through the slab roller.

1. first you would start off with a slab of clay clear of air pockets. then you would score and slip the ends together forming a cylinder. after you pinch the bottoms bringing them together making the three legs of the mug. lastly you would design fire and finish your mug.
2. I did it in a braid and i would score and slip each piece together as i would fold the in a braiding motion. 3. i find the handle the most successful. I fold make the braided pieces more round like coils instead of thin slabs. 4. clay slab is a broad flat piece of clay that is rid of air pockets and ready to mold |
