The fist week of Ceramics.

These pictures show the making proccess of my straight vessel.

First I made 2 each of these by flattening out the clay and then cutting it into th same shape. (I had a paper cut out of the shape that I wanted)

Then I had to leave the two slabs of clay to dry, until it was strond enough to hold its on shape even when it was left standing.

Then I stuck 2 of these together. I scratched the 2 faces that were to be put together and then put some slip onto it and put the two surfaces together. When the slip had dried into the clay a bit(not completely) I got a coil and smothed it onto the inside meeting place of the two slabs.

Below is just a nice picture that I got of the vessle before I put the bottom on it.

Below is just before I stuck the bottom onto the vessle.

The bowl at th top of the picture had the slip in it, left is the wall of the vessle that I had already made, and at the bottom of the picture you see the bottom of the vessle that is to be put onto the walls.

Below are the 3 vessles that I made. I foolishly forgot my camera when I was making the other two vessle so I do not have the making proccess of them.
