This video was originally made to help my Ceramics II students on their Textured Slab Set with Focal Accent Project. In the video, I demonstrate how to roll and texture a slab, and create a cylinder with a squared darted bottom. I used a piece of craft foam from which I cut my feather focal accent, and I used an MKM wooden roller to create my repeated texture in the background. I also demonstrate how to create a handle with the same texture as on the cup. For another slab cup video, check out my video on "How to make a Tripod Textured Slab Cup!"

The clay I am using in the video is Laguna B-mix with grog- cone 5/6. I use Coyote glazes which enhance texture.

And, because I had a question about how to MAKE the acetate dart I show, here is an explanation of that! It started just as a scrap of paper which I folded vertically, then, I cut two angled cuts to create a "diamond" shape. (I made the long side the dart, and the shorter side the handle to hold it...) Then, I opened it up, and drew a vertical line along the fold. This vertical line on the fold is what you align with the marks you make on the cup. And, just to give me some flexibility, I made a few straight horizontal lines. That gives you options of lining up the lines with the edge of the bottom... therefore making darts which are longer or shorter depending on the look you want. The reason I have mine is on acetate is so it will last, and kids can use it over and over in my classroom. You could take a clear or translucent tub lid and cut one if you want something durable. I like having the see through quality, so I can match up the lines and the edge with the horizontal lines. I use darts like that of lots of different sizes and angles when I handbuild. I find it helps me to be consistent when I make darts or cuts! Here is a link to some photos with measurements of the darts I use: drive.google.c...
