Slab Built Pottery

I did a slab project. I really love doing slab built projects, but there is a lot of work that goes into doing one. First you have to roll out clay to all the same thickness, then cut into the desired sized, mine was 7 inches by 11 inches. Next I put them on a board and slightly covered them with a plastic bag, so that it can dry out for a few days so it becomes more solid, and less flimsy when I stand then up to merry the edges together to make my form. After that's was done I put another plastic bag over it to dry out slowly so it doesn't crack. The using a needle tool I craved in the leaf. Finally it gets a bisque fired.
After the bisque I glazed it with the body in a neutral color, it reminds be of a pie crust once it goes though a glaze fire. For the leaf I glazed it base off of fall leaves. I used vivid orange, orange, red, and mulberry red. Hopefully it will look really cool once the klim get fixed and it get a glaze fire.
