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.

Slab

I like this slab pot because of its colors and its construction. It just looks like basically one slab of clay shaped into a pot design.

Slab Pots

I like this pot because the pot itself looks easy to make, but the color scheme and the way the pot is shaped makes it look very interesting.

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.

slab pottery


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.

Slab pottery


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

These two coil pots inspire me because of the way they made the designs out of coils and used not smoothed out coils to enhance the design. I might try to incorporate the coils rolled up in the middle on my coil pot.

-Zach Chong
This coil pot inspires me because I really like the design and also because it has the same shape as my coil pot. I really like the symmetry and colors that the artist has used in this design. For my pot, I also plan to use symmetry.

Coil Pot

This pot inspires me because it is very unique and, when you think about it, very difficult to construct. I like how the design is not just coils that are parallel to the other coils and also how there are two sections of the design. This pot is from http://www.mojavemountainpottery.com/coilpot.html.

Medieval Pot

This is a pot made in the medieval times. I like both its color and shape. I think I will design my own pot with circles and lines. I also like the idea of a handle.

Bird's Nest


This coil pot has a cool, yet intricate design with a "coiled" twig nest.
