Soft Slab Construction

Artist statement:

For this project we used soft slab construction to make cups and plates. I made three mugs and I added a couple of designs. For one of my mugs I used plastic plowers to make some imprints on the side of the mug, I used a light glaze so that the pattern would be more noticeable, I used C-21 Sky. I also made a mug with a christmas tree, I used a cookie cutter to make the outline. I decided to use two different greens, PC-41 Vert Lustre for around the tree and SM-42 Mint for the christmas tree. I also just made one plain mug that does not have any patterns and I used PC-23 Indigo Float. We also made plates, I made a bigger plate that is an oval shape and I cut the edges in a wavy pattern. I used a light green for this PC-49 Frosted Melon.

I really like how all of these turned out and I also like the colors I chose.
