1. Advanced Slab Construction How clay is made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXD9z Ds9ygU

2. Project Objective To design and create a vessel using the slab construction technique. To combine function and form when creating a design. What will your vessel contain?

3. What will your vessel hold? Food Flowers Jewelry Tissues Coins Trinkets Pencils Stationary Candles Keys Birds (birdhouse)

5. Design Approach 1.Decide on the function. 2.Design the shape and form. 3.Design the textures and pattern.

6. Function What is it used for?

12. Shape and Form Geometric and Organic

14. What form will your slab piece take? Will it be geometric, organic or a combination?

24. Texture / Patterns How will you decorate the piece? Will you add texture, additions of clay, or paint a design with underglazes?

32. Steps: 1.Sketch several ideas. 2.Make a paper template(s) to trace onto the clay slabs. 3.Roll slabs, trace shapes, and add texture. 4.Dry the slabs to leather hard if making it more geometric. 5.Slip and score all pieces. Mend seams thoroughly.

33. Design Approach 1.Decide on the function. 2.Design the shape and form. 3.Design the textures and pattern.
