Creating with Kaiser

    Creative “Slab”    
                          

This lesson will require you to build and embellish a bowl, vase, or cup made from a slab.    BE CREATIVE and EXPERIMENT with techniques that you aren’t familiar with.   We don’t want the same old slab! 

• This first step in this lesson is to find inspiration! Sights like Pinterest and Etsy will have examples of beautiful pottery created using slabs.  Print out the picture you are using for inspiration AND locate a tutorial on the way the piece was made.  If there isn’t any tutorial available, how else can you figure out how to make the piece?  Write the steps needed to create the piece.  Put all of this information in your sketchbook. 

• Draw a sketch of the piece you are going to create.   This will be a graded sketchbook assignment.  Review the sketchbook rubrics.  Include Elements and Principles of design, size, color...etc.
