The "slab method" forms pottery from flat pieces of clay. The potter shapes the clay into flat slabs by pounding it with the fist or by flattening it with a rolling pin. Using one slab as the base, the potter places other slabs at right angles to it to form the side of a piece of pottery. The slabs are then attached together with slip. 3, record 1, English, - slab%20method

The slab method involves building handmade pots from rolled-out pieces of clay... from which may shapes can be formed. To keep an even thickness, roll the clay on a board with a small strip of wood nailed on each side, so that your rolling pin will ledge on them. 4, record 1, English, - slab%20method
