Slab Plate

I really like this slab plate because of the intricate designs that they created on it. I especially like the design on the right of the plate because they probably did it by hand from the looks of it.

This Slab plate/dish is quite a piece of fine art. Though it may be hard to see from the picture on the inside is a mural of Starry Night sky. With the dishes canoe like shape it makes you feel like you are floating on the sky. This is truly a beautiful piece.

Slab Plate


I really liked this lab plate because the way that they used mold to make the sides of the plate curve upwards. I also like how they used something to create a design with words on the inside of the plate.

Slab Plate

I like this plate because of how the edges are shaped. It is both simple and interesting. It also uses few colors, which makes it seem less flashy.

These slab constructions were created using a slab roller. The designs were then etched or stamped onto the surface. I admire the use of two different surfaces for the interior and exterior of each bowl, and the imprinted design that had to be made with a stamp in order to be so identical each time it was used.

I'm not quite sure where this slab pot came from, but I think that it is old rather than new. I like it because of the design that it has, it kind of reminds me of baseball seems, so it looks like something that I could do on a smaller scale.

I like the simplicity of this slab construction. The dotted design inside of the bowl allow the black and white to "pop" in the picture.
