Textured Roller
4
Considerations in hand building:
-the seams – do you blend them out completely or leave the join standing out Breath in the vessel – add roundness from the inside
5
Rolling out the slab Roll your slab out onto a clean cement board using the wood sticks as a guide to get even thickness Add texture as the slab is drying out a bit. You can’t use it right away because it the clay will be too soft and it will slump instead of standing up.
6
Adding texture Clay will show any texture that is rolled into it
You can use a roller or stamp that you make, objects from nature such as wood, shells, leaves... Manufactured objects such as fabric, lace...
7
The Pattern Think about what you want to make and draft a pattern out of paper. Make sure that the pieces fit together
8
Make sure that you 1) slip and score joins 2) cut the join at the appropriate angle (usu 45 degrees)
10
Open Slab Project After you make a mug (remember to make an extra one to donate), you can create whatever project you want using texture and slab.
13
A lid needs a lip either on the lid or on the body to hold the lid in place
