7. Even more slabwork http://ceram.josephdmarchetti.com/2008/08/slab-vessel-1.html http://ceram.josephdmarchetti.com/2008/08/ceram-6.html

9. What interesting slab work will you create? Ceramics 1 (basic) - Design a mug using slabs. Ceramics 2 (advanced) - Design an independent project that includes the use of slabs. Both groups: a) Draw three thumbnails that show different ideas for a slab project (i.e., three different styles of mug) b) Then, take your best drawing, and draw that object from three different perspectives. c) Create a paper template for your slab project.
