Building with Slabs
Concept Research ceramic slab forms on the internet Create an original form/design that: Is NOT a box Is built using Stiff (hard) slabs Is complex Does not exceed 12 inches in height (more than 3 inches) Can be GEOMETRIC or ORGANIC Has all included slabs a ¼” in thickness If you find a form that is GEOMETRIC, you will most likely need to use a template.
Template – a shaped piece of metal, wood, card, plastic, or other material used as a pattern for processes such as painting, cutting out, shaping, or drilling. Use a template to ensure consistency in measurements and connections
