Soft Slab Construction

For this project we had to make mugs and plates out of slabs of clay. We had to roll out a big piece of clay in the rolling machine, and then we had to form the clay around a tennis ball cup and piece it together for the cups. For the plates we would drape the clay slab out of the rolling machine into a foam template that would naturally create a plate formation. This style allows for a really smooth finish on the outside that is very appealing. Below is some of work.
