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.
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.
This is my favorite slab ceramic piece out of all the pieces I found because it came from Thessaloniki greece which is an interesting place. I also like it because it is so old.
This is a vase made out of slabs of clay. I like it because of the unique shape of the pot and its design. I also like it because it looks very challenging to make because of it box shape.
This is a pot that is from the ancient Mayan culture. The reason I like this pot is because of its simplicity. It looks like a very easy pot to make, but at the same time it is appealing to look at. - Trevor Carlyle
