How to Make a Slab Box
ฝัง

- This is how I make simple ceramic slab boxes. Slab boxes are great because you can customize them and make them very individual. But to start with it helps to learn the basic box shape. In this video I make two slab boxes, one is a glazed box with a lid, and the other has the same measurements, but it is a textured slab box. You can download the templates that I use in this video for free at my website here thepotterywheel.com/ceramic-s...

Wow! This is gorgeous!!!
OMGosh, I have never seen a tutorial done so well. So neat and tidy. You made it look so easy to reach perfection. Now I have a new goal. With this video, I might just reach it. Thank you.
I LOVE how you add the gallery!!! I’ve never seen it done so easily. Thank you so much.
😍👏
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing your process!
That's simply amazing, your art. It's the best slab box making I have seen on TH-cam. Thank u for sharing and teaching so good like that!
Thanks so much 😊
I love the textured box, it's sooo pretty!😍💓👏👏 I also love how well you explain things. So glad I found your channel! Thanks for sharing.
Hi, beautifull work ! 🤩Thanks ☺☺
Try a piece of drywall or gypsum board. The talc/clay SHOULD (in theory…should) ensure even drying
after firing, you can decorate with colored glass faceted stones
Try adding a clay hinge and allow the lid to open.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. In the very beginning of the video you show a beautiful box that you have little metal pieces on the corners & a really cute latch. Where did you purchase these & how do you attach? Beautiful work.
ah ha. I finally watch the video all the way through. Love your decoration idea.🥰
Hello, I actually made the corners and latch out of clay and then used gold luster over glaze to make them look like metal. I hope that helps
