Slabbed Technique

Slabbed Pots

1. I used the slab roller to make a slab. Then I found a rounded object as a model of the pot and I put the flat slab around the tennis ball container. Next, I made a base and the handle with the left slab, and joined them after the body of the pot became leather hard.

2. I made other two additional pots, and when they are all leather hard, I used pencil and drew few figure on the side of the pot. Then I glazed each of them with combination of glaze, Fox (SM51 and HF165), Fish (SM20 and PC12), and the Koala (PC41, PC25 and PC29).

Slabbed Architecture:

1. I made a paper model.

2. I took a part of the paper model, and flattened each parts in the slab, then cut out the sides from the paper model. Then dry each parts until they became leather hard.

3. I combined the triangular parts together as the roof.

4. I also joined the other parts together as a whole architecture.

5. I carved out many triangles on each side. Finally, I glazed the whole architecture with PC12. But the kiln was broken, so the color of the glaze did not shown as the blue that I wanted.
