Soft Slab Construction

For our soft slab construction, we were assigned two projects— mugs and platters. Soft slab construction is executed by first taking a sizeable chunk of clay and using your hands to smash it into the with you want your slab to be. Then, using a roller and panels, you can choose the thickness and number of panels you use to achieve a certain thickness of the slab. Using this technique I created two mugs, one with a strip handle and the other an inverted handle, and a sun platter.
