First Slab Construction





















I started my slab piece by pressing the clay using a slab roller. I made the clay a bit rounder because I want it to come out a long slab rather than wide. I picked up some leaves for decoration, then cut the pieces using the template I made.





















I had to let the cut-out pieces sit for a day to hardened a little bit before putting them together. I had to score the bevelled edges, deep enough that the slip will soak and moisten
the hardened clay. Then I placed the joined pieces on top of another slab, which would be the base.
