Basics of Hand-Building Slab Pottery

The stiff-slab method is more appropriate for architectural and geometric forms. The slab is rolled and then allowed to slowly dry to the leather-hard stage before being cut and joined with other stiffened slabs to create the form.

Stiff slab shapes can be merged with other leather-hard clay components, such as stiffened slump-molded slabs, thrown components, or pinched components. For example, a soft slab may be slumped into the opening of the stiff slab pot as part of creating a lid for the pot. Another example is making a series of rings and adding them to the pot’s bottom to serve as feet.

The possibilities are nearly endless. If you have not made a slab pot before, give it a try, and let your creativity guide you.
