PROCESS
Slabs
clay - toothbrush - water - mat - tools - wet rag - roller? - plastic bag - plate
Throw the clay onto your surface to remove air bubbles. Begin pounding!
Pounding sideways helps to make the slab wider. Keep clay cookie thick.
Peel up your clay like a fruit roll up. Use the smooth side for projects.
